73 days and counting

Yes, only 73 days to the opening ceremonies of the 6th World Conference on Breast Cancer. The excitement is mounting as the finishing touches are being put on planning and the registrations are ramping up. If you have not already registered go to www.wcbcf.ca for details and to access the on-line registration forms.

We got the added bump on our 'excite-o-meter' when we learned one of our key note speakers, Dr. Olufunmilayo Falusi Olapade was named to the US Cancer Advisory Board by President Obama. Dr Olapade is a highly skilled hematology oncologist with proven expertise in cancer risk assessment. This appointment is significant in many ways, as Dr. Olapade not only brings years of specialized experience to the Board but also knows first hand the challenges faced - not only here in North America but internationally.

We congratulate her and look forward to everyone having the opportunity to see and hear her speak in June.
