Conference for Women Living With Advanced Breast Cancer: Enhancing Your Health and Quality of Life

Please join Living Beyond Breast Cancer for the Conference for Women Living With Advanced Breast Cancer: Enhancing Your Health and Quality of Life, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 14, at the Philadelphia Marriott West, in West Conshohocken, Pa, outside Philadelphia.

This is LBBC’s first conference focusing exclusively on the needs of women living with advanced (metastatic) breast cancer. The full-day program, planned with data from our April 2005 survey, is packed with the information you requested for information, support and practical resources.

The morning plenary session, featuring Julie R. Gralow, MD of the University of Washington School of Medicine and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, will explore the latest treatments, open clinical trials and research developments. After lunch, choose from among four workshops on symptom and side-effect management, clinical trials, the emotional impact of your diagnosis and end-of-life concerns. To provide more time for connecting with others, moderators will jump-start four break-out sessions in the afternoon on coping and finding support, communication with loved ones, financial planning and health insurance issues and employment concerns and disability. Conference participants will drive the focus of the sessions. We will conclude with a closing plenary session on how to integrate what you’ve learned into your day-to-day life.
