Thanks Ellen, Ed and I will most certainly go if he feels well.

Could this post serve as a sign up sheet?? Maybe we could get a running total of those going. If we can, maybe we could all meet in Boston for the day.

Would you mind this idea??>>Believe51

Ed and I are registered and I have added that date to my cancer-related calender. Anyone needing a place to stay, feel free to post or PM me and we will make the room. I am more than willing to travel with those whom do not want go alone also. Maybe we can do lunch too! Let's get this party started!! Thanks Ellen, I really hope to see you there.>>Believe51

Ok Marie, my partner and I made reservations for the 15th-18th at the best western in longwood right near the hospital. we already registered and are hoping to meet you and whoever can attend. I will try to go through my goofs and see if I have any doubles for you.

I cannot go, but believe me I will be passing on this info to others!

[Believe51]

WomanofSteel, you made me smile with the 'Goof' thoughts and I will do the same for you buddy. May is a long way off and I am pretty sure that Ed should be feeling fine by then. Either way I am looking forward to meeting up with everyone. I would really like to see our East Coast Girls and Bill all get together for lunch. I am so excited for this conference!>>Believe51

[Believe51]

Please book this ASAP since the reservations are filling up fast!

Your plans sound great! If you all want to meet up for lunch, we can have a HER2 table designated in the cafeteria.
I look forward to seeing you in Boston.

P.S. registration is required for attendance at the conference. The Dana Farber auditorium holds 260 people. Once we register 260, we are closing registration.

[Believe51]

Ellen, let's do it, this sounds terrific. It also sounds like you are involved with this project and I am really interested to hear how. Talk to me Ellen. And the designated table would be a definate I think. So far we have 5 of us. I am getting excited now.>>Believe51

Hi... at this time I am president of MBCN- the Metastatic Breast Cancer Network. We are an advocacy group dedicated to getting the metastatic voice heard. Take a look at our website www.mbcnetwork.org (http://www.mbcnetwork.org) . MBCN was started in 2004 by 2 women who were very involved in the bc community after their primary bc diagnosis. Upon being diagnosed with mets, they found the bc organizations had nothing to offer them.. they were not part of the pink ribbon survivors of those who beat the disease. They felt like the bc failures.

MBCN works to enable all of us living day in and day out with mbc to be our own best advocate by providing info and education. We are an all volunteer organization - we are a non-profit group. .. and we are happy to have you as a member!

Ellen, blessings to you and all you do. I am so pleased that you have found us, rescued us in a sense and cannot wait to meet you. Continued success with all of your endeavors.......gotta go check out the site now (smiling)>>Believe51

Ellen,

I am glad you have joined our group. I am also Stage IV. I read the article on vaccines on your site. I am currently participating in the vaccine trial at the University of Washington I started at the end of January.

Hey Old Friend, anticipating a great day for us and cannot wait either!>>Believe51

[Believe51]

Ellen, Ed and I are going to make a day out of it and take the train to Boston. Sounds a little petty but for others and maybe for us...

Do we park in the garage as though we are going into DFCI for treatment?>>Thanks>Believe51

[WomanofSteel]

Marie I like your new little avatar. We are looking forward to meeting up with you there. I know nothing about Boston, so as the time gets closer I will pm you our cell # so we can contact each other. It would be nice if we could all meet up.

[schoolteacher]
