San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium--ILC

I just learned today that there is a Breast Cancer Symposium in San Antonio next week. There is an all-day session on ILC. Is anyone going? I'm thinking about it. I live here, but it will be $225 to go. I can't find anywhere (like Lobular Breast Cancer Alliance) that is live streaming it.

Breastcancer.org really didn't have any coverage of the ILC symposium. I found the list of abstracts in the ILC symposium, and here's the link. Not much going on with ILC that I can see.

Thanks for the link macmomma. I learned after many, many, posts that a hard return will make your link live.

Thanks! This is off-topic for this, but I see that you had a prophylactic oophorectomy. Because ILC likes to metastasize to the ovaries, I am interested in pursuing the oophorectomy. My medical oncologist and a second one I consulted (both breast specialists) said there was "no indication" for a prophylactic oophorectomy with my Stage 1, etc. What made you have one? Did you have a hard time convincing your doctors?
