2014 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium

I always look forward to seeing the information presented.

If you're smart, everyone should visit the Symposium website and do a quick search on topics that apply to YOU. Then, remind your medical team to make sure they attend those topics/sessions. This event grows every year and many of the discussions will get lost in the "noise", especially if you have a less common BC sub-type.

poohbear - ME TOO!!!!! im ready to ditch these shots...ive been hanging on until this years conference.

VR thanks for the exact date of dec 11 - I have an appointment with my MO on the 15th to discuss how we are going to proceed. 

PoohBear - very interesting.  I think the benefit will still have to be individualized by patient.  If your recurrence is low to begin with then the benefit may not be great enough for the SE.  You are stage 1 grade 1 so I bet you will be in that camp.  I am stage 2 grade 3 so the absolute benefit may be more worth it for me.  This is the discussion I just had with my friends MO who I asked this very question.  She does not feel it will be practice changing/standard of care.  She feels MOs will look at each individuals risk and determine if the benefit of OA outweighs the risk of it. My MO is pushing me to stay in meno and switch to an AI but again, that is probably because of my own personal recurrence risk factors

hopefully the results will make this grey a lot more black and white!!!!

Yes! Bring it on!

Lets hope for some good news next week.

You can follow the conference on Twitter at #SABCS2014. Lots of Dr.s tweet live during presentations. It is a great way to get on the spot info.There is also an app you can download with schedules, etc.

Oooohhh....I woke up so excited today! I can't wait for the information to start rolling in. SOO curious about the ovarian suppression.

counting down the hours...I hope its a very black and white recommendation on OS not grey like it has been
