Thank you so much for joining us for the Caring Ambassadors Program video series, Learn from the Experts. Our main goal is to empower and educate patients and communities to be advocates for their health and to improve their lives.
Today's video is dedicated to living with lung cancer and it highlights one chapter from our book, Lung Cancer Choices. The video series is broken down into short segments, so it's easy to watch and navigate. You can watch the videos in any order, so feel free to choose what interests you the most.
We're very excited to welcome Dr. Loise Wairiri, as our featured author in this video. Loise will be discussing her chapter, Sexuality and Lung Cancer.
Dr. Wairiri grew up in Kiambu, Kenya. She earned her medical degree from the University of Nairobi, College of Health Sciences, and thereafter worked in rural health where she developed interests in breast and cervical cancer in resource limited populations. Her clinical interests include medical education, promoting health/cancer literacy in communities, and health equity in cancer care. Loise is currently a resident at the University of Washington, Department of Radiation Oncology, in Seattle, WA.
Sexuality-related concerns such as sexual health, intimacy, reproductive health, and gender are prevalent among cancer patients from diagnosis, during treatment, and it can even extend years after primary management. In this video, we will discuss sexuality concerns, mechanisms, how they relate to cancer, and interventions. @caringambassadorsprogram3508
