Here’s what previous attendees have said about the conference...
“This is the single most helpful thing I have found to help me deal with being a younger woman with breast cancer. I was so lonely and isolated before. Thank you!”
“I found it very empowering to see that there are so many others that are experiencing what I have gone through. The medical experts gave me good information that seems to get overlooked in my doctor’s office. I have learned many things that I did not know about.
“The presenters were brilliant. They shared experience from their patients. They were open, and they set up a friendly environment. They facilitated a very open exchange of ideas, experiences, and advice.
“I was thrilled to meet people who have managed to have satisfying careers after breast cancer. I was also happy to meet people who dated, married and had children after diagnosis.
“I’m so glad I made the trip all the way from Bangkok. It was SO worth it! I was very impressed with how well organized everything was.
“I’ve been living in an almost constant state of panic after receiving a metastatic diagnosis a year and a half ago, but attending the conference has helped to alleviate my fear of dying every day that I am living.
“I was thrilled to meet young women who are sharing my struggles with breast cancer. I learned from my peers, and I hope some of them learned from me.”
“After this conference, I feel more comfortable in my skin as a survivor. I think I’ll start wearing more pink!”
“I am very pleased with the conference. I have learned so much and feel motivated to go back to my community and share all that I have learned.”
“I loved each session I went to, and my fiancé found it to be of enormous helpespecially the session on caring for loved ones.”
“Not only did I gain some more knowledge and skills for myself, but I also brought back a great deal of information to share with my two support groups. Moreover, I found a platform: I want to start advocacy efforts for people living with advanced breast cancer in the city I lived in. Most important, I gained courage to not let breast cancer shade my everyday life.”
