I kinda want to go. I requested to have info sent to me.

If alot of colon clubbers do go, we should have a get-together.

I have went twice. this is a very good conference. I plan on going getting to gether with all the survivors is awesome. They have very good Dr speakers who will talk with you afterwards.

I wouldnt miss it. great staff and very uplifting. I went the first time after my liver resection and listened to all the experts . I had such a great feeling knowing these experts adviced what my my team had done back in seattle, most of the Docs were from back east at that time.

I plan on going if people want to connect

I went last year in Chicago and it was great. Nice to hear about stage IV survival - something you don't here a lot of up here in Canada.

Plan on going this year as well. Would love to get together and meet others from the Colon Club!

I hope to attend! Thanks for posting this. My liver resection and colon resection were both performed at Hopkins and I can plan my check-up for this same time. It would be great to meet some people from the Colon Club.
