Upcoming symposium for those in the DC area

Postby Dana123 » Wed Nov 25, 2015 10:49 pm

My husband is being treated at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center and they are hosting a symposium on 3-5 December 2015 called "Fighting a Smarter War Against Cancer", see https://ruesch.georgetown.edu/Rueschsymposium2015 for more info.

Of special interest to this forum is a session called "Young Adult Colorectal Cancer-Emerging Oncology Challenge." I plan to attend and will post any info that appears to be helpful.
48 yo DH diagnosed/resection (rectosigmoid at 18 cm), 8/15
IIIB--T3, N2a (6/24), moderately differentiated, genetic testing--negative for mutations
CEA pre-surgery 3.5
FOLFOX began 8/15
Oxaliplatin dosage reduced at Round 8 due to WBC issue, began Neulasta for that
Oxaliplatin ended at Round 9 due to persistent neuropathy
