A Symposium for Survivors
Breast Cancer is personal. As a survivor, so is your experience.
Whether you've been facing breast cancer for a day or a decade, get the newest facts about treatment options such as chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, reconstruction and complementary alternative medicine. Also learn the latest about genetic counseling, diet and nutrition, exercise, as well as integrative approaches to breast cancer care.
