Slides from Seminar on Metastatic Breast Cancer at Weill Cornell

Hello!

I've been helping out with Metastatic Breast Cancer Network and came across these slides from the recent Seminar on Metastatic Breast Cancer with Dr. Anne Moore, Medical Director of the Weill Cornell Breast Center, and Dr. Linda Vahdat, Director of Research at the Breast Center on June 21, 2012.

I thought these slides had some good information especially for those just diagnosed with stage 4/confused about treatment options or want a big picture overview. Not entirely Her 2 focused but has some great slides. I really wish I knew about these things back in the day, so wanted to share.

I love you all!
-Sue

Dear Sue,
It is so good to hear from you.

I seem to recall that you were working hard to keep up with your studies, while being supportive for your mom.

You are an amazing young woman and I know your mom is so proud of you.

Thank you for sending the link, it provided some encouragement for me today.

I hope you are doing well. Are you nearing graduation?

Please keep in touch....Lori
