SUMMARY:Risk of Recurrence: Coping with Fear\, Anxiety\, and the Emotional Weight of Survivorship
DESCRIPTION:The fear of recurrence is one of the most emotionally challenging aspects of cancer survivorship. That fear is often amplified around recurrence testing and scans. Recurrence risk tests like Prosigna\, TrueMRD\, Oncotype DX\, MammaPrint\, PreciseBreast\, Foundation Medicine One MRD\, and Signatera help our healthcare team gain vital understanding of each person’s risk over time.  \n But waiting for the results can be distressing and even after results arrive\, the fear of recurrence often lingers\, shaping how we think\, feel\, and move through life after a diagnosis. \nIn Part 2 of our webinar series on risk of recurrence\, Arash Asher\, MD\, will explore the psychosocial impact of living with recurrence risk: the anxiety of waiting\, the weight of uncertainty\, and strategies that can help you cope\, find support\, and reclaim a sense of control. \nBonus for our Embrace Community: We invite members of our Embrace community\, those facing metastatic breast cancer or advanced ovarian cancer\, to stay on at the end of the webinar for an intimate breakout session with our expert and Bonnie Beckoff\, Director of Sharsheret Support Services. \n\nRegister here.\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:The Impact of Culturally Competent Cancer Care: A Healthcare Professional Training
DESCRIPTION:Attention all health care professionals! Sharsheret’s The Impact of Culturally Competent Cancer Care is a one-hour training webinar about the importance of culturally competent care for cancer patients. Not simply the politically correct thing to do\, or something kind during a difficult time\, this type of care has a proven impact on survivorship. The training explores the issues through the example of Jewish women facing breast cancer. The training includes topics such as the diversity of the Jewish community\, increased hereditary risk for Jewish women\, and cultural\, religious\, and spiritual issues that may impact detection\, treatment or survivorship. Woven throughout the presentation will be examples of how this information is relevant to many other communities. Participants will also learn about the free resources Sharsheret can provide to all breast and ovarian cancer patients. \nFree CE credit may be available through ASWB\, NYSW\, ANCC\, and ACCME. \nClick Here to Register. \nQuestions? Contact Melissa Rosen at mrosen@sharsheret.org. \nThank you to our webinar sponsor: Cooperative Agreement 24-0061 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. \n
