Can I bring a family member

suzieq10279, I don't see why not. I think when you register your name you can note that another person will be attending. When I went to see my endocrinologist in October he showed me the flyer about the conference and said that if I knew of anyone who may be interested to pass the information along. Maybe you could make sure by contacting Marylin Armento, her address is right above.

Hi Susieq, Like @mariagiusi said, you can register multiple people when you click the signup button. People are encouraged to bring a family member, caregiver or friend. Two set of ears means double the memory and you can discuss the conference afterwards. I'm wondering how old your daughter is. If she is a child, then I might consider contacting Marilyn Armento.Marilyn@mayo.edu It could be a long day for a child.
Maria, are you planning to attend the conference?

Suzie, you will meet many others who are attending solo as well. What type of thyroid cancer do you have? What treatments have you had?

I was diagnosed in 1996 with papillary/follicular thyroid cancer had two radiation iodine treatments and now I am in remission, I have nodules in my neck too small to biopsy, so I have ultrasound and bloodwork every year for my follow up. And I’m looking forward to meet other cancer patience and survivors💜😊

I just had my fifth surgery Dec 6th. They removed my lung lady year. I have chondrosarcoma. It is a very rare none cancer. It creates cancer cells in my bones and throws it wherever it likes. Never smoked. I now have seven tumors in my left lung. We will keep watch on those. They are too deep right now to do surgery. I am thankful fir every day that I have. My motto is every day thankful. Life is a gift and I will enjoy each day that I have. I pray that you will overcome your cancer. God bless
