Webinar on the effects of Covid and Breast Cancer treatment/care
Breastcancer.org is running a webinar on the effects of Covid-19 and Breast Cancer treatment & care - it may be that your treatment has been delayed or even postponed as a result of Covid.
I know my own covid experience was very mild, compared to some who's surgery may have been delayed - my recent Onc appointment was via phone instead of a hands on, face to face check - so I now need to get my GP to check my boobs on my next appointment! But this virus may be effecting us for up to 2 years (going by the Spanish Flu statistics in 1918-1920!)
If you register for the Webinar (below) you will be sent a recording & report on the discussions - as it is USA time (not Australian time) so may not be convenient to watch 'live'.
