YOUR RECOVERY, YOUR VOICE

A breast cancer survivor forum presented by EMMC Cancer Care

May 15, 2018, 6:00-7:30 pm, Hilton Garden Inn, Bangor

Breast cancer patients need support as they navigate the steps of survivorship. If you have walked the journey as a breast cancer survivor, let your voice be heard at a forum to help envision, create, and move ahead a new breast cancer survivorship program.

EMMC Cancer Care would like to know what survivorship topics are important to you. From diet and exercise to mental, emotional, and sexual health. What are you looking for in education, support groups, and community programs?

Please share your thoughts at EMMC Cancer Care’s free community discussion with A. Merrill Garrett, MD, oncologist, EMMC Cancer Care, and the team of doctors, nurse practitioners, and nurses caring for breast cancer survivors.

Light refreshments will be served. Event is 6:00-7:30 pm. Doors open at 5:30 pm. Registration is required by filling out the form here or by calling 973-7483.

Registration is now open for the 2018 National Breast Cancer Coalition Summit in Washington, D.C. April 28-May 1. Learn more or register here.
