Question: Why do you think creating videos will help stop obesity ?

Hi Dylan,

My videos aren’t necessarily there to help women lose weight. My videos are going to be on a slightly different topic; how to support women make decisions about a medication that can stop them getting breast cancer. An old medication known as tamoxifen has been shown recently to be useful for preventing breast cancer, but it comes with some side-effects. So the decision to take it can be quite difficult – do I take it and be less likely to get cancer, or do I not take it an avoid suffering the side effects. It’s a tough one. These videos will involve real women talking about their own experience with the decision.

Hope that helps!
