Conferences & Podcasts
• Our MBC Life: A New Podcast by Metastatic Women, for Metastatic Women
“Every Monday, listeners will hear from passionate advocates, community trailblazers, and experts in the field who are changing the way MBC is seen and treated, and the champions who are making waves and pioneering representation.”
My two cents: Brought to you by SHARE, a national nonprofit that supports, educates, and empowers women affected by breast, ovarian, or metastatic breast cancer, with a special focus on medically underserved communities.
• ASCO20 Virtual Ed — free for Patients and Survivors, August 8–10, 2020
“The American Society of Clinical Oncology hosts annual meetings for doctors and researchers. Cancer patients and survivors are able to register for access to the virtual meeting presentations — at no cost. They may request a unique registration code by sending an email to patientadvocates@asco.org. Please allow up to five business days for your request to be received and reviewed.”
My two cents: Read the instructions and send an email first… don’t just go to ASCO and try to register. I noticed that registration provides access to last spring’s scientific conference in addition to the upcoming educational conference August 8–10.
