Join us for a resource fair on Thursday, March 21, 2019 4-6pm. We will offer a short discussion and vendors who are local and resources for those affected by cancer.

BRAVE Day is on March 21st every year, and strives to educate and empower women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer about their rights to reconstruction.

Why is BRAVE Day important?
To truly thrive after being diagnosed with breast cancer, women need to know the resources that are available to them―and how to access them. Self-empowerment and knowing your rights can make all the difference in a healthy, successful recovery.

The sole purpose of BRAVE Day is educating women about their options.

The Law Nobody Knows

1998

The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) was enacted.

This federal law requires insurance plans that cover a mastectomy to also cover breast restoration up to 4 months after mastectomy surgery. This important mandate gave women choices without undue financial burden.

But 20 years later, most women don’t know about it.

BRAVE DAY is here. And we brought a megaphone. So everyone will know it.

The Breast Cancer Issues Conference provides survivors & fighters, support persons, high-risk individuals, and health care professionals the opportunity to learn about and discuss breast cancer topics with leading health professionals, researchers, and fellow survivors. Topics cover emerging research and treatment options, breast cancer risk reduction, and quality of life issues.

Join Pink Lemonade Project and Lisa Egan, MMS, PA-C, Gynecologic Oncology Division,  OHSU for a special cancer survivor seminar discussing strategies for managing  symptoms associated with menopause and cancer. Lisa is a physician assistant who has 15 years of experience in gynecologic oncology.   She works closely with women from cancer diagnosis, through treatment and recovery.   As a part of her approach to cancer care, she runs a clinical program at OHSU titled Sexual Health for Women Impacted by Cancer.   Cancer patients, survivors and their spouse/partner/companion/caregiver and family are invited to attend together.
