Breast Cancer Network Australia Melbourne Forum: October 11

[JWade]

Would this be an advantageous forum to attend if you have had Her2 + BC.

I finished Herceptin in December 2007.

I did learn about receptors at a session at Cabrini whilst I was having treatment.

But I am out to learn what I can.

Cheers....Jan

BCNA is hosting our next forum in Melbourne on Saturday 11 October.

Associate Professor Michael Bilous, Director of the Tissue Pathology Department at Westmead Hospital, Sydney, will give an insight into how and why breast cancer is tested for hormone receptors, HER2 status, where tissue is stored and the test which will be available in the future. Melbourne oncologist Dr Richard de Boer will explain how pathology results guide treatment options for women. BCNA’s Ambassador, breast cancer survivor and inspirational speaker Stephanie Dowrick will also share her wisdom.
