Have you ever been told to “consult your health care provider”— and not sure what that really means?
Join us as we share helpful information to improve and enhance your communication with your health care team. The webinar will feature a Sharsheret expert who will empower you to advocate for yourself when discussing your individual concerns with your health care team, including screening, fertility, fear of recurrence, new research, clinical trials, and immunotherapy. A Sharsheret peer supporter will share her personal story, and a question and answer session will follow the presentation.
The webinar will be held tomorrow, Tue, Aug 8, 2017 from 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM CDT
About Sharsheret
Sharsheret was founded in November 2001, four months after Rochelle Shoretz, a 28 year old young Jewish mother, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Immersed within a close-knit Jewish community in northern New Jersey, Rochelle had many offers to help with meals and to transport her sons to after-school programs. What she really wanted, though, was to speak to another young mom who was going to have to explain to her children that she was going to lose her hair to chemotherapy, and what it would be like to prepare for the High Holidays knowing she was facing a life-threatening illness. Though her grandmother had died of the disease, cancer was a taboo subject still not discussed within her family and, she soon recognized, within the Jewish community at large.
