  abstract = {{W}hile breast cancer is the most common cancer globally, not all women have access to quality care. {L}ong considered a disease of high-income countries, low-and middle-income countries are now facing a major public health issue regarding cancer. {T}his is the case in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica, where access to quality breast cancer treatment is often lacking. {T}his context leads some women to travel abroad, particularly to {F}rance, hoping to save their lives. {T}his article aims to examine the experiences, the social cost and the perceptions associated with therapeutic mobility for breast cancer in {F}rance. {T}o this end, this study uses a qualitative method based on nineteen biographical interviews with women from sub-{S}aharan {A}frica with breast cancer who have migrated to {F}rance seeking for treatment. {I}t shows that these women often face significant difficulties throughout their care and life paths in {F}rance. {M}ain issues lay in accessing care, housing insecurity, loneliness, and administrative instability. {T}his reflects how the double biographical disruption, caused by cancer and migration, impact entire disease trajectories, from entry to care to post-breast cancer period. {W}ith this research, we suggest extending the concept of social death to the issue of women who have undergone therapeutic mobility for their breast cancer in {F}rance. {H}ighlighting the experiences of women who remain almost invisible in the public arena, this article analyses poorly heard realities and shows how social inequalities in health can be found even in reconstructing oneself after breast cancer.},
