Dear all,

The Third International Inflammatory Breast Cancer Conference will be held December 1,2 in Philadelphia at The Sofitel Hotel.


I have been helping an IBC patient of Dr. Massimo Cristofanilli and I just spoke to Dr. C. a view minutes ago. He think this will be an excellent conference. One important thing that will be discussed is the cutting edge work being done on the ALK mutation that seems to be present in a lot of IBC.

I will be presenting a short talk, about the TNBC Foundation, in the Advocacy Section Saturday night and will also be presenting a poster on TNBC Foundation and IBC on Sunday. 

It seems that when women have IBC about 30-35% of the time it is also TNBC. It can be a very challenging combination to treat and after helping about ten women with IBC/TN over the last several years it has become a particular passion of mine. I am hoping that the efforts of the scientists present will help the women with IBC and IBC/TN. I know it is a small group, in numbers, and therefore challenging, funding-wise, but I so admire those who have dedicated their efforts to find a cure/better treatment for the IBC community.

Conferences like this are particularly interesting to me because, I believe, there are only about 200 participants expected so there is really a wonderful opportunity to interact with physicians, researchers. and fellow advocates. And it is a very focused conference. Next week I will be attending SABCS in San Antonio and I think there are about 8000 who will attend. 

If anyone involved with IBC wants to come there is a $125 Advocacy rate compared to $450 for regular attendees and there is also a special $50 rate for the reception, only, on Saturday night.

Please let me know, in a PM, if you are planning to attend. I would love to say hello. I will give you my cell phone number and email and hopefully we can connect at the Conference.

warmly,

Steve
