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.

5 Summer Safety Tips for Cancer Patients and Survivors

Summer can pose unique health challenges for those dealing with cancer. Whether you’re a long-term survivor or are still undergoing treatment, here’s how to stay healthy and safe while enjoying the season.  <https://hopespring.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=4f83090e6a&e=ece80c31c3> Read on

During the last year, many people have dealt with or are dealing with loneliness, particularly if you are also dealing with cancer/treatment alongside the pandemic and stay-at-home orders. Read on for helpful tips from HealthBeat from Harvard Medical School...

Loneliness and isolation can have serious health consequences. Research has shown that people who feel lonely or isolated are at increased risk for developing coronary artery disease, stroke, depression, high blood pressure, declining thinking skills, an inability to perform daily living tasks, or an early death.
Steps you can take to conquer loneliness:

*	Connect meaningfully with family and friends in a way that works best for you: whether by phone, via video chat, or even by talking with your neighbours across the fence or in a park.
*	Be thankful. Loneliness can lead people to focus on themselves and their hardships. Aim to express appreciation toward friends, family, and strangers.
*	Focus on what you can change. Spending time dwelling on your current situation can perpetuate loneliness; rather, focus your attention on something within your control and work at it.
*	Enjoy being busy. Complete a chore, spend time writing, find a new hobby, or just allow yourself to delve into a new activity.
*	Remove negativity and smile. Surround yourself with people and activities that bring you joy. Consider taking a break from the news, or at least limiting your consumption. Just the act of smiling can make you feel better.
*	Be kind, understanding, and patient. Work on treating yourself and others with compassion. Engaging in pleasurable interactions can also help those around you, and may result in deeper connections.
*	Develop a routine that provides balance and familiarity. Create a daily plan that includes physical activity, time for connecting with loved ones, a project or hobby, and a relaxing pleasure.
