Tonight’s tweetchat covered an important topic – sexual wellness. It was an interesting chat – slow compared to most #BCSM chats. Many patients and their loved ones are interested in the topic, but it’s a difficult one to cover in a public setting.
We were fortunate to have 2 guests to help guide the discussion. Dr. Don S. Dizon is a medical oncologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital specializing in women’s cancers and side effects from cancer therapy, especially sexual side effects. Elissa Bantug is a breast cancer survivor and the Breast Cancer Program Director for Communication, Education and Survivorship at Johns Hopkins.
