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.
