The latest news about breast cancer

One of the organizations I have very high regard for is “Living Beyond Breast Cancer”, based out of the United States. They have information for breast cancer patients from every aspect of diagnosis and demographic. Young women, African American women, women who partner with women, metastatic, Hispanic…and the list goes on. You can spend a LOT of time on their website and every minute will be worth it. On January 6th I took part in a teleconference that featured Dr. Eric Winer from Dana Farber Cancer Institute in the U.S. I first saw Dr. Winer speak at the Young Women’s Conference in Dallas in 2009 and was immediately impressed by his knowledge, caring and candor. Dr. Winer attended the San Antonio Breast Cancer Conference which was held in December in San Antonio, Texas. He talked about all the news that came out of the conference during the teleconference last week. It’s well worth taking an hour and 15 minutes out of your day to listen to the podcast. This link will take you directly to the page that features all of LBBC’s podcasts. You never know what you might find that will pertain to your situation and give you knowledge you can take to your next oncologist appointment. Check out the podcast here:
