The Britain Against Cancer Conference in London
2nd December 2008
Janice and Jacky have attended this conference in 2006 and 2007.
Sadly, Janice is not well enough to attend this year - although Jacky will be going.
It is a chance to get your views heard in a political arena. It brings together patients, health professionals and policy-makers to look at the impact of public policy on cancer services and research.
Download details of the conference.
Please consider attending. The bigger the voice regarding treatment for Myeloma Sufferers, the more we may get heard.

On Saturday and Sunday June 21st and 22nd a 60s weekend is being held at Haworth, nr.
