After being diagnosed with breast cancer, many of us focus on how to keep cancer from coming back, how treatment forever changes our lives, our bodies and our minds. Our guest speaker Dr. Eleonora Teplinsky, Head, Breast Medical Oncology; Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine, The Icahn School of Medicine, Mount Sinai, will address the following concerns for our early-stage breast cancer community:
- Current therapies utilized to reduce risk of recurrence
- How these therapies impact women – especially younger women in terms of fertility concerns, sexual function/drive
- Emotional impact of treatment
- Managing fear of recurrence
