Our expert speaker for February is Dr. Stacy Wentworth, the medical director of Survivorship for Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Dr. Wentworth covers:

• What are the current trends or updates when it comes to COVID and other illnesses going around?
• What is the chance that a person who feels they have not had COVID, has actually already had COVID?
• For our audience of cancer patients and survivors, who are the clients who should be the most cautious in regards to being in public places?
• Is there a period of time around treatment, or around certain lab measurements that people should be extra careful?
• If people are done with treatment, what kind of immune compromised status are they at?
• What types of precautions do you recommend for people who are post treatment vs those who are receiving active treatment?
• What’s the latest on Masks and Vaccines?
• When should someone bother with a COVID test?
• If someone gets COVID, what treatments are effective? And who should get them?
