A diagnosis of cancer is a frightening and life changing experience so at 1800, (1300 in the USA), Monday 23 June we are delighted that our “Mouth Matters – Open and Honest Information about Mouth Cancers” webinar, is hearing from someone who has dedicated her life to side effect support.  

Hygienist, Jill Meyer-Lippert was inspired to create Side Effect Support after witnessing her mother’s oral health challenges during treatment for breast cancer.

Oral care is often overlooked in cancer treatment. The goal is to Improve the oral health for those enduring cancer treatment.

Jill will be sharing with our host Eva, simple tips that can make a big difference for patients and which are often overlooked.  Oral side effects of chemotherapy and head and neck radiation can affect the quality-of-life and health of oral cancer patients. Side effects of chemotherapy can potentially delay or complicate treatments, therefore compromising the patient's ability to beat these terrible diseases.
