SGO Meeting Preparations

 

 

Thanks to support from my Cancer Center, I am heading south to Tampa for the SGO Annual Meeting on Friday. The theme of the meeting is Patients | Purpose | Progress. I'm so excited to be meet up with other survivors/advocates and to learn from the researchers who are making advances to improve the care of patients diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer. 

When I arrive on Friday, barring any airline delays, I hope to attend at least part of the Patients and Advocates Education Forum and Luncheon. I have attended them in the past and have always found them beneficial. This is the first once to be held in person since Covid began. 

Saturday, March 25th, will be an especially busy day for me. 

As a member of the SGO Communications Committee I will be part of a presentation on Saturday ( 2:45pm Ballroom A) . This Education Forum, Ready for Primetime: Media Readiness will present strategies of how to best respond and state your position when asked questions by the media.  

Following the Forum, the Scientific Plenary II session (East Hall, 4pm) will take place.  Survivor/advocate, Annie Ellis, will be presenting Long-term survivors speak: patient perspectives on progress, an abstract she and I co-authored. I will share more about the abstract after the meeting.

There are a number of other sessions I am looking forward to attending and am busy working on the app to set up my schedule and work in some time to meet up with some of my gyn onc friends. 

On Twitter,  be sure to follow the hashtags #SGOmtg and #gyncsm for news from the meeting. 

I'll be posting highlights here once the meeting concludes.

Building Bridges, Breaking Barriers - SGO Annual Meeting

740.jpg

 

For the first time in over two years, I will be attending an in-person conference as a patient advocate next week. I am excited to be attending the  SGO Annual Meeting which will be a hybrid meeting in Phoenix Arizona, March 18th to the 21st. The theme Building Bridges, Breaking Barriers is reflected in the topics of the scheduled master classes, wellness curriculum, plenary sessions, forums and poster sessions. You may learn more about the meeting at  https://www.sgo.org/events/annual-meeting/.  Cancer survivors and patient advocates who would like to attend the meeting should reach out to meetings@sgo.org for registration information.

My top picks for sessions to attend include:

Breaking Barriers: Towards Greater Equity in Gyn Oncology Care
Breaking Barriers: Pioneering Protocols and Scientific Progress
Building the Bridge Between Bench and Beside/ Inequities During the Pandemic and Beyond 
Novel Therapeutics
Palliative Care: Difficult Diagnosis
Industry Sponsored Session-  Managing Ovarian Cancer

The Presidential Address by Diane Yamada, MD,  the Conversation with SGO Past Presidents as well as the invited Guest Speaker Martin Makary, MD, MPH will be must see sessions for me too.
 
My plan is to tweet live using the hashtag #SGOmtg and #gyncsm. I'll follow up after the meeting with a few posts on this blog.

I am look forward to meeting with other gynecologic cancer advocates at the meeting. Are you attending in-person or virtually? If you are, let me know by commenting below, tagging me in a  tweet ( @womenofteal) or email me.

SGO 2019 Annual Meeting Friday - OC Heros



The SGO is meeting this year in Honolulu, Hawaii to celebrate it's 50th Anniversary. I will be following along from NJ via Twitter and the #SGOmtg and #SGOHawaii50 hashtags.  I plan to blog each day of the meeting ( March 16-19) the tweets I find of interest to my followers.

On Friday the members started to arrive and there were a number of preliminary workshops as well a survivors course presented by the Foundation for Womens Cancer.

Friday night's activity included the OC Heros Awards presentation and dinner. The guest speaker was Shannon Miller and the award winners were  Ryan Mitstifier-Walton, Nurse Paula Anastasia and Dr. Shannon Weston. I am so pleased to see Dr Weston win this award. She has been an amazing health care moderator of the #gyncsm community.





Thanks Annie Ellis and Dr Erin Stevens for the great Tweets!
