Each Spring, DBCC presents a symposium featuring leading medical experts and other speakers discussing the most current topics in breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, detection and survivorship. The annual one-day educational forum is free and open to the public, and has become one of Delaware’s most trusted sources of up-to date breast cancer information.
The 13th Annual Breast Cancer Update will be held on Wednesday, April 28, 2010 at Delaware Technical and Community College in Dover featuring special guest speaker Kelly Corrigan, author of the New York Times best-selling book The Middle Place and the soon-to-be-released book Lift(due March 2010).
The Breast Cancer Update is one of many ways that DBCC uses its funds locally to benefit and serve the people of Delaware and its surrounding communities. This annual one-day educational forum is free and open to the public and has become one of Delaware’s most trusted sources of up-to-date breast cancer information. The event features discussions by panels of breast cancer experts and attracts crowds of physicians, nurses, breast cancer survivors and advocates each year. Complete agenda, registration information and continuing education credits will be forthcoming.
DBCC is excited to present guest speaker Kelly Corrigan whose book The Middle Place pays testament to her gifted storytelling abilities as she shares her breast cancer journey in an honest, engaging, often humorous/sometimes painful, yet always moving and hopeful manner. Copies of The Middle Place and Lift are available for pre-sale with your registration and available at the event.
