Lost in Translation: Effectively Communicating With Your Healthcare Provider

Trust in your healthcare team begins the moment you learn you have breast cancer, but every interaction, whether words are exchanged or not, affects your relationship with your providers. These interactions can impact your confidence in your care, your understanding of available treatment options, and your sense of control and involvement in your own health decisions.

During this program our expert, Lidia Shapira, MD, FASCO will discuss some of the visible and invisible barriers to good communication, and offer practical tips to help you have the conversations you want.

Hear from Dr. Shapira as well as panelists with breast cancer, who will share stories about challenges they faced in relationships with their providers and provide practical advice to bridge gaps in communication.
