February 2026 BRA Banter - Sexual Health

BRA Groups

Sexual health is an important—and often overlooked—part of life during and after breast cancer. In this episode of BRA Banter, we’re opening the conversation with trusted expertise and compassionate guidance.


Join us for an empowering discussion with Dr. Melissa Kaufman as she shares current insights on female sexual health after breast cancer. This session is designed to help survivors better understand their bodies, ask informed questions, and advocate for the care and support they deserve. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, post-treatment, or navigating long-term survivorship, this conversation offers practical information and reassurance that you’re not alone.


We hope you’ll watch this informative and affirming conversation.

Join us for an inspirational final BRA Banter conversation of 2026 as we hear from two of our very own BRA members, Sara Holt and Lenore Calhoun. Through their unique breast cancer journeys, Sara and Lenore have each faced challenges, discovered incredible inner strength, and found joy and purpose along the way. Though their diagnoses and experiences were different, their stories share a powerful common thread: resilience, hope, and a deep desire to give back and make a difference in the lives of others. Come be inspired by their courage, their perspectives, and the meaningful ways they have turned their personal experiences into opportunities to encourage and uplift others. Two journeys. Shared strength. A lasting impact.
