Event Details
The Ovarian Cancer Canada Speaker Series features experts from across the country discussing a wide range of topics for women living with ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and their families and friends.
Join us on Tuesday, November 17 from 6:30 p.m. ET – 7:30 p.m. ET for ‘Navigating menopause: What you need to know’
Menopause and its effects can have a significant impact during and after gynecologic cancer—but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Join leading experts from The Society of Gynecologic Oncology of Canada, as they discuss menopause after cancer, the latest evidence on menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), and practical strategies for managing the changes. You’ll leave with a better understanding of your options and conversation starters to use with your healthcare team to support your everyday well-being.
They’ll provide clear explanations, answer questions, and share insights to help you feel more informed, supported, and empowered to make the best decisions for your care.
This free event will be hosted on Zoom. A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation. You can submit your questions in advance to speakerseries@ovariancanada.org
