About this event
Did you know that, according to the National Cancer Institute, Cardiovascular events, such as a heart attack or a stroke, could also lead to breast cancer? Also, studies have proven that some breast cancer treatments can affect the heart, making survivors more likely to develop cardiovascular disease.
Join our monthly SOS (Supporting Our Sisters) to learn the connection. You will hear from Dr. Patrice Desvigne-Nickens, NIH, Gloria Ravenell, Heart & Cancer Survivor and Thriver, and Cynthia Washington, Cancer Survivor & Thriver.
