Please Help Me Prepare a Breast Cancer Talk

Friends,

I have been invited to give the keynote address next month to an offsite meeting of breast cancer researchers, doctors, nurses and politicians. The director of the research facility kicks off this annual event with a survivor talk in order to remind the audience why they do what they do. This year it's my turn.

I view this as a unique opportunity to speak to a group of healthcare professionals from the patient's perspective. However, while I will briefly share my own b/c story, I would like to deliver a representative message from all of us to all of them. Thus, I would greatly appreciate any input you care to provide. If you had the chance to address this kind of an audience, what would you want to say? Also, care to suggest a title for the talk?

Thanks to anyone who cares to offer some ideas.

Stay well,

Cynthia
