Breast Cancer and Sexual Intimacy | Breast Cancer Haven

“Breast Cancer and…” is a webinar series brought to you by Breast Cancer Haven. With over 20 years’ experience of supporting people affected by breast cancer we now take this opportunity to look in more depth at some of the things that matter most to you.
These informal, informative panel discussions bring together Breast Cancer Haven staff and therapists with leading experts from specialist fields. We provide information and insight into the financial, physical, emotional and psychological factors that may affect your life.
Our inaugural webinar “Getting Curious: Breast Cancer and Sexual Intimacy” covers an important topic that is often considered taboo, and can be overlooked.
This webinar delivers an honest and friendly discussion covering a range of issues including:
a practical understanding of what is happening to your body as a side effect of treatment
how surgery can impact your feelings of self-confidence and sexual appeal
how you could work with a current or future partner to achieve the kind of sexual intimacy you want
The panel includes:
