Mark your calendar for this is a one-day, virtual workshop to address a major quality-of-life issue that comes up again and again in our community. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in my survivorship is that I’m allowed to ask for a high quality of life after diagnosis.It isn’t enough that I’m still here walking around the planet. For a long time, I didn’t realize that a life that includes sex & intimacy is something I deserve. I was thrown head-first into medical menopause with my very first chemo infusion. I didn’t think it could happen to me: I was 35 & had enjoyed an easy, playful sex life prior to cancer. I assumed it would be the same after a year of cancer treatment. That was not the case. I learned that “use it or lose it” actually applied to my vaginal health, and since then, it has been a long road of avoidance, anger & disappointment (with my body, with my partner) to finding the right community and practitioners to help me to experiment with different tools and through it all: learning to talk to my partner & listen to my heart & my body.


Don't miss this; you deserve it. Because survival alone is not enough.
