The Canadian Breast Cancer Network (CBCN) has put together a Q&E: Questions and Experts series to address the fact that oftentimes, breast cancer patients have questions and concerns about their diagnosis and their health that they are unable to get the answers to. Whether it's because of limited time with their primary healthcare provider or because they don't have access to a specialist, many times, their questions go unanswered.

Date: May 26th
Time: 2PM (EDT)
Dr. Mark Basik, MD, FRCPC, a Surgical Oncologist at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, QC will be answering questions about breast cancer surgery.
