 Our first three discussions covered topics including the increase in cancer diagnoses, raising awareness, and providing education on prevention, accessing conventional and alternative treatments, challenges related to interacting with the medical system, and the future of cancer care. As we mentioned during the second panel, “It begins with me.”

Our 4th and 5th discussions covered the impact of COVID-19 on cancer diagnosis and accessing treatment and how COVID invaded every aspect of our lives - social, political, financial, and possibly most importantly, our overall health, resulting in other health-related issues for cancer survivors such as diabetes, obesity, and mental illness.

H3’s 6th Annual Open Panel Discussion will focus on genetic testing, exploring its value as a tool in diagnosing, treating, and possibly preventing breast cancer, as well as utilizing genetic markers for specific racial and ethnic groups.
