This course will be discontinued on November 20, 2012 because it has been replaced with two 1-hour courses: CE667 "Navigating the Breast Cancer Journey, Part 1: Risk Factors and Diagnosis" and CE668 "Navigating the Breast Cancer Journey, Part 2: Treatment and Resources." Please plan to complete the course before that day if you want to earn continuing education credit for it.
