Hi,

I would love to join in, but it will be held at midnight my time, so I won't be staying up for that. It's a shame because I like to know what's new in the metastatic breast cancer world. If you take part, would you mind reporting back?

Here is more about who is presenting: During the webinar, you will hear from medical oncologist, Nancy U. Lin, MD with an update on new and emerging therapies for metastatic breast cancer from her participation in the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. After Dr. Lin’s brief update, we will spend the remainder of the time taking your questions.

While this is a free program, you must register in order to receive the instructions on how to join the Zoom webinar on December 16.

Meet our expert:

Nancy U. Lin, MD, is the associate chief director of the division of breast oncology and director of the metastatic breast cancer program at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and is an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. Her research is focused upon developing new treatments for patients with metastatic breast cancer and in understanding mechanisms of therapeutic resistance.

The Webinar was very informative, encouraging & helpful. One question Dr. Lin answered that has been asked here is, “should MBC patients get the COVID vaccine?” She said yes.

She also noted that after much experience reducing IBrance dosage to help patients with high fatigue &/or consistent low white blood cell counts, they have not seen any reduction in IBrance’s effectiveness at the lower doses.

To all who want to see a recording of this webinar on all the new treatments for MBC patients, here is the website:

If you were unable to listen today or would like to hear the webinar again, you may listen to a recording and access resources online at LBBC.ORG starting January 6.

Thanks for sharing what you know too. That was my impression - a lot DEPENDS....I'm sorry you will not be able to take it. I'm still in the process of figuring that out but it seems there's also a bunch of people with autoimmune disease that most likely won't be able to take it either. I listened to a local township talk today and there is still SO much they don't know about the vaccine in terms of lasting effectiveness, ability to still transmit covid to others even if you had the vaccine, etc. Not exactly the magic pill I was holding out hope for (even as I knew not to expect that)!
