Register here for this free webinar run by the Breast Cancer Foundation.

Frankie Robson found a lump and was diagnosed with breast cancer at 76, and will share her experiences of going through surgery/treatment, especially during the COVID-19 lockdowns, and how she is doing now three years on. Adam Stewart coming up from Waikato to be on the panel, as well as medical oncologist Edmond Ang coming down from Whangārei. Edmond has a special interest in caring for older people with cancer, particularly breast and has a wealth of knowledge in this space. Both clinicians will discuss the decisions women have to make, when, like Frankie, they are diagnosed with breast cancer in their 70s or above. They will cover what the different surgical and treatment options are, and why these might change depending on your age.
