A panel of experts will discuss how mothers with breast cancer and their adolescent/young adult daughters can better communicate about complex issues. Discussion will also focus on recommendations for surveillance, risks and benefits of hormone therapy, timing of genetic testing, what families can do with new and often confusing information, and how to best explore ongoing options. Registration is necessary — please call 646.888.4740.
Please bring your daughters! Come together and begin to discuss key issues for the future of young women.
