Hi Jan, they need to be smarter than me to figure out the time thing too!

With these online conferences they have had in the past, I just wait until it's over and receive a transcript in an email. If you're not on their mailing list I think they post a transcript of it on the website afterwards.

Katrina thanks for posting that information. I assume by Eastern Standard Time they are talking American Eastern Standard. Could someone who is far smarter than I am with numbers please tell us what that would be for Aussies and Kiwis. Thank you.

Upcoming Ask-the-Expert Online Conference: Sex, Intimacy, and Breast Cancer

-----------------------

Join us Wednesday, February 20, 2008 between 9:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, for our Ask-the-Expert Online Conference on Sex, Intimacy, and Breast Cancer, where Leslie R. Schover, Ph.D., and Kara Nakisbendi, M.D. will answer your questions about sexual side effects of breast cancer and breast cancer treatment, and what you can do about them.



Leslie R. Schover, Ph.D., is a renowned psychologist with a special interest in helping people resolve or manage their sexual problems, especially those problems connected with a chronic illness such as cancer. A Professor of Behavioral Science at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Dr. Schover is also the author of numerous journal articles and book chapters. She has written patient education booklets published by the American Cancer Society--"Sexuality and Cancer: For the Woman with Cancer and Her Partner" and "Sexuality and Cancer: For the Man with Cancer and His Partner." She coauthored the textbook Sexuality and Chronic Illness: A Comprehensive Approach. Her research currently focuses on designing computer or web-based interventions to help cancer survivors with making decisions about fertility preservation, coping with fertility-related distress, and resolving sexual problems. Dr. Schover is also a member of breastcancer.org's Professional Advisory Boa rd, which you can read about here:

Kara Nakisbendi, M.D. is a Board Certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist, a Board Certified Nutrition Specialist and a Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. After four years in a busy obstetrics and gynecology practice at Lankenau and Paoli Hospitals in Pennsylvania, Dr. Nakisbendi decided to open Nakisbendi & Associates, which provides comprehensive gynecological care throughout a women's life cycle in a compassionate and supportive manner. In addition to routine gynecology, Dr. Nakisbendi also addresses complex gynecologic issues. She has special interests in menopausal changes, adolescent gynecology, sexual dysfunction, recurrent vaginitis, and vulvar pain disorders. She is also director of The Nakisbendi Women's Center which offers acupuncture, psychotherapy and holistic health counseling for women looking for a holistic approach to health and wellness.
