All women are at risk for uterine cancer, and the risk increases with age – this cancer is usually detected in women who are going through, or have gone through menopause. Learn about uterine cancer, causes and risk factors, early detection and diagnosis, tests and treatment, and working with your doctor. Nancy and Nathie will share their individual experiences with uterine cancer, how they deal with frequently asked questions, and the various ways deaf women can seek information and support. This workshop includes handouts and is open to all interested persons, men included!
