Randi Rosenberg - Past President YSC has Passed Away
I just heard that Randi Rosenberg, one of the 13 original founders of YSC and a past president passed away from breast cancer last night. Randi was diagnosed in 1998 at age 32 and recurred in 2006.
I originally met Randi at the big YSC yearly symposium that is in February. In Feb 2005 I represented this group at the symposium in Denver and "manned our booth". Ironically, our Her2 booth was right next to the YSC booth so I got to know Randi at that show. As the years passed I went to ASCO and SABCS and was always bumping into her somewhere.
Randi is one of those people who changed things for young women with bc and starting and staying with YSC was a milestone.
Anyway, the beast took away another good one who will be watching over us.
