* Individuals under age 18 or over age 50 at initial breast cancer diagnosis
* Stage IV or metastatic breast cancer
* Pregnant patients
* Individuals who do not have a US mobile phone number
* Males with breast cancer are not being recruited to this protocol. In the adolescent and young adult (AYA) age group, only a miniscule proportion of breast cancers occur in males. Additionally, this pilot focuses on breast cancer treatment utilizing OFS and ET, both of which do not apply to males. For this reason, the SHIELD portal intervention materials have been targeted for young women.
