October 13 is Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) Awareness Day? Every year on 10/13, the Coalition hosts our annual Advanced Breast Cancer Seminar: Tools for the Journey.
Webinar agenda
Care provider Speakers
- Jennifer Serventi, PA, URMC Wilmot Cancer Center
“Advance Planning Continuum: Starting the Conversation” - Mercy Tomy, MD, Roswell Comprehensive Cancer Center
“Palliative Care: What Is It? Who Needs It? When is the Right Time?” - TBD
Survivor Speakers
- Lori McJury
- Jules Netherland
MBC survivors, their families, friends, caregivers, and health care providers are invited to attend this one-of-a-kind, half-day seminar free of charge. As the title suggests, our speakers offer tools for attendees in the form of education and personal experience. Physicians from our region share the latest information, studies, and treatments available, and MBC survivors offer their stories and personal experiences of living with this disease.
Financial support for this program is being provided by

In memory of Cindy L. Dertinger, who died of metastatic breast cancer in March 2003.
