    I am an oncology nurse working as an educator for staff and patients.  Our organization and physicians and nurses are NOT dealing with sexuality concerns.  At my insistence, our 2009 regional oncology conference will deal with sexuality.  I am looking for good speakers, and would appreciate any help you can give me.

    Tough answer because the leading experts that I know that are proficient on the subject- are probably quite costly - BUT they may be able to direct you to more local professionals or offer a way for them to interactor provide information.  Dr. Berman is a leading sex therapist in the Chicago area and she has been a leading "mover and shaker' on this subject.  I assume you can google and get to her or at least to the clinic she runs in Chicago.

     

    I'm delighted to hear that you are interested in making a difference in this sensitive area that we do need to address -
