The Home Stretch on the Cancer Conference

[Guest guest]

Well Folks,

I am busy " burning the midnight oil " putting the final touches on

the cancer conference here in Montreal. This project has been a bit

of a labor or love, I guess. I have been working on it for over a

year and it is a bit of a relief to know that it is finally coming

to fruition. I have actually done most of the work myself -phew

tired!

The conference covers all types of cancers from Brain, Prostate,

Breast, Hematological, and Colorectal to name a few. The faculty

will present the latest innovations for diagnosis and treatment. I

have to say that the area of colon cancer has significantly improved

in the past couple of years. There are four new drugs for this

area. Sadly none of these drugs were available when my mother was

dxed with colon cancer so many years ago.

The conference starts on Thursday morning and continues until

Saturday afternoon with the CML workshop - The First Canadian Forum

on CML being broadcast live on the web.

Needless to say, I'll be off list for the next few days and hope to

make it to Sunday with my sanity still in tact.

However, I do have a project in the making for September. It will

be a weekend retreat for cancer patients - free of charge. It will

cover meditation, nutrition, yoga and mindfulness training. I'll

keep you all posted when I have more news.

Much Metta to everyone!
