WOW!! Talk about timing.
The bc researchers have taken notice of our web site and we are currently in negotiations with a medical center and drug research group to provide information to our members about ongoing and future clinical trials.
In order not to clutter up our home page, we will soon be adding an additional section to our web site dealing with new technologies. Our intent is to provide a brief description of an investigational drug and provide a link to the clinical trial testing that drug.
On July 1st, Christine and I were both fortunate to see Dr. Slamon speak at the opening of the San Diego Cancer Center in Encinitas. His first words were "Christine, I have heard so much about you and looked forward to meeting you." Which has made my life unbearable since. He also said that he has visited our web site and was impressed with its quality.
Another speaker, whose name escapes me, envisioned
the way medical students will be taught about breast cancer in 50 years. He felt that with new advances in genome research and bioscience as well as with drugs in development, that in 2054 breast cancer will be lumped together with polio, small pox and diabetes as diseases which were once out of control but now kept in check.
Hopefully, before then we can change from being an educational and support group to an internet web site where former bc patients meet to exchange stories about the "Old Days".
Warmest Regards To ALL
