Thanks for posting this. This is a great seminar for anyone interested in knowing more about breast cancer science. I took the international course given in Cancun, Mexico last year and it was a very interesting and rewarding event. I strongly recommend it for any one of our members.

Interesting. Due to the big C, can't plan beyond next week. But definitely interested if stars align.

Birthday celebration for Nina that week. We thought that she would not see the end of March based on her December 2011 diagnosis. Work would not let me go any way due to all the PTO being used up. I have a ton of thoughts that I would love to exchange, but Nina time is most important!
