About the webinar
Breast cancer treatments affect people in different ways. Some people experience mild side effects, while for others they are more severe. In this webinar the expert panel discusses strategies for managing side effects of chemo and radiation, and reducing their severity, to boost quality of life during this difficult time.
Meet the panel
- Hannah Dhanaraj was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer just after her 40th birthday, in 2014. She'll share her experience of breast cancer, the side effects she suffered, and the methods of coping that worked for her.
