Patient Experiences Regarding Side Effects

[Bestbird]

​Ever wonder whether the scientific community truly listens to patients?

The answer is "very much so!" because this Saturday the voices of 1,221 patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) will resonate around the world at ASCO's annual conference!

The results of the Patient-Centered Dosing Initiative's (PCDI's) Patient Survey will be featured at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's (ASCO's) Annual Meeting on June 5 at 2:50PM ET! On behalf of the PCDI, I am greatly honored to deliver the oral presentation "1005: Treatment-related side effects and views about dosage assessment to sustain quality of life: Results of an advocate-led survey of patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC)." The presentation will provide valuable information about the prevalence and severity of treatment-related side effects and the strategies used to mitigate them, including dosage reduction.

Patients and survivors may request a unique ASCO registration code by sending an email to [e-mail]

Hope to see you there

Thank you so much for speaking for all of us. The patient should have a strong voice in their treatment and sometimes doctors forget that.

[Bestbird in reply to NShaft]

NShaft, I agree 100%! The good news is that the medical community is listening!

The PCDI just completed a Medical Oncologists Survey and the results - which will be shared at a later date - are very encouraging!

Will this presentation be available to view at a different time? I would love to watch it but will be traveling then. Thanks.

[Bestbird in reply to love2golfwell]

Yes, the presentation will remain for viewing at-will on ASCO's website!

Thank you so much. I will send an email to get a code.

It looks like you have to pay to register for this meeting to get access.

Thank you. I sent them an email and they responded by asking if I was a patient or patient advocate. I told them I was a patient so I think they will be sending me a code. Looking forward to watching your presentation.
