Greetings!  ,
MBCN is working hard on the details of the
September 19-21 conference -- Life with Metastatic Breast Cancer -- at UNC Lineberger Cancer Center to make it our best one ever. We obtained additional funding for travel scholarships, so please consider applying if you are truly in financial need and would like to attend. Featured below we have the spotlight turned on two of the doctors who will be presenting. Please take a moment and view the videos. I think you will find them informative and engaging. See also the complete AGENDA. OCTOBER is coming--a month that many of us dread and feel overwhelmed by......but already there are a number of programs scheduled by various breast cancer organizations and cancer centers that will focus on us and living with metastatic breast cancer. Keep checking our CALENDAR and Facebook pages and we'll keep you up to date on everything! Warmest regards,
Shirley
MBCN President

IMPORTANT UPDATES
1. SHERATON CHAPEL HILL: The reduced rate hotel block we have at the Sheraton Chapel Hill expires on Monday September 1. Please be sure to book your hotel room by then. (There are other hotels in the area if you have a car or if they offer shuttle service to the Friday Center, where the conference will be held.)
2. BONUS SHUTTLE BENEFIT: The conference shuttle service has added a bonus benefit. If you are taking the Sunday 11:30am shuttle at the end of the conference on Sunday back to the Sheraton, you can stay on board for a free ride to the airport!
3. BONUS FOR REGISTRANTS IN FINANCIAL NEED: We have added a category under registration fee on the registration form for those who cannot afford the $55 registration fee. If you are truly in financial need, you can select this category and register without paying, instead of the former procedure where adjustments had to be made by MBCN staff upon email request. (Those who have already applied for a scholarship and paid the registration fee will receive a refund.)
