ABOUT THIS FORUM:

Join us on ZOOM for an intimate panel discussion about how different couples navigated their breast cancer. This forum will be moderated by licensed social workers.

No one is ever prepared to hear the words, “You have breast cancer.” A breast cancer diagnosis can shock and blindside individuals and couples alike. Even partners who are strongly committed to one another may face difficult moments when confronted with the extraordinary stress of breast cancer. Couples may be presented with changes in relationship roles, routines and responsibilities throughout a partner’s diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. Studies indicate that couples who cope best with breast cancer are able to address the illness as a team with a shared sense of purpose and responsibility.

Hear from 3 couples who tackled breast cancer as a team, speak about the challenges they faced and the communication strategies that helped them grow.
