| "Why I Am Attending the Conference" |
Cathy Eddy, R.N. |
"I will be attending the Scleroderma Foundation's National Conference for the 8th time! From my first conference in Atlanta as an anxious, newly diagnosed person, to last year in St. Louis as a chapter president and support group leader, I have grown in many ways. I learned that I am not alone and that there are excellent doctors and researchers working to make our lives better. I have become educated and proactive about my disease- therefore getting the best possible medical care. I have met many wonderful people that I look forward to seeing at the conference. This is a great opportunity to meet and share with others who understand the challenges of living well with scleroderma!
