Alert: Riverside is committed to supporting the health and wellness of our communities. To support social distancing and limit the spread of COVID-19, we are offering the Breast Cancer Survivorship Series as a virtual series.
For young women affected by breast cancer
Young women with breast cancer have unique needs and questions. Riverside Health System has partnered with Living Beyond Breast Cancer, a national breast cancer nonprofit organization that provides trusted information and a community of support, to host a series of workshops for young women diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 45.
The Survivorship Series will provide answers and resources on some of the most common concerns for young women such as intimacy, early menopause, the long-term effects of treatment and self-care after breast cancer.
