Your Health Connection is joined by Oncologist Dr. Karen Godette and breast cancer survivor Chermaine Axam-Wilkins for a frank discussion about the myths and realities about breast cancer in 2013. How much is genetic? What are the treatement and cosmetic options? Do you use a wig or fly your new post-cancer hairdo high and tight? You'll hear real answers to real questions that will provide you with the common-sense understanding you may need.
Your Health Connection airs the third Wednesday of each month at 6pm, in place of Tell Me More. This edition of the program airs Wednesday, April 17 at 6pm on WCLK.
Barbara Washington leads the discussion, which also touches on a local organization devoted to providing hope and common sense advice and support for their Sisters By Choice. Learn more about Sisters By Choice here.
