Re: San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium 12/4 - 12/8

Paula,

Her2Support has historically sent a contingent of members to the S.A. Breast Cancer conference. I encourage you to contact Sassy or Becky to throw your hat in the ring as being willing to represent us there. It is a fascinating experience, one you will never forget. It was there nearly 2 years ago now where I met and roomed with Brenda Hutchinson, met Chris, Paty, Sheila, Joan, Rhonda (Sassy), Steph, and Christine. You will never be the same again after attending and you will love those gals (or guys) even more deeply after having met them, laughed with them, confessed your fears and received theirs. The memory will bless you for years to come. I cannot encourage you enough to reach out to Rhonda (sassy) or Steph or Becky. I am not certain who is heading it up this year, but you are correct to raise the issue now.

It is painful for many of us to contemplate San Antonio without Brenda being there. She attended every year driving down from Austin. May she rally and be among the group again this year!
