Open Mic and 100th Chat March 8, 2023

 

Christina and I are happy to invite you to #gyncsm's Open Mic and 100th Chat on Wednesday March 8. 2023 at 8pm ET. It seems like only yesterday when together with three gynecologic oncologists, Drs Dizon, Markham, and Boulay, we held our first chat in September 2013. 

To celebrate our 100th chat, we updated our logo.  

We've added three intersecting ovals (teal, peach, purple) to represent the intersection of those impacted by different gyn cancers into one community.

We thank each and every guest host and health care provider and researcher for providing important information to countless patients, survivors, advocates and caregivers through these chats. Our topic list is lengthy, but we focused our chats on the gyn cancers and their risks, advocacy, caregiving, quality of life, clinical trials, research results, news from medical conferences, genetics and personalize medicine, emotional and physical support, survivorship issues, recurrence, and how to work best with your doctor. Have a look at them all here.

On Wednesday we will open the floor to questions from this broad community in this 8th edition of an "Open Mic" chat. 

What's on your mind? 

• Do you want to discuss OCRA's  recent consensus statement on fallopian tube removal to reduce risk of ovarian cancer? Or how to participate in OCRA's program free genetic testing program? 
• Do you want to share your experience in a clinical trial? Or how to discuss clinical trials with your doctor?
• Do you want to discuss the latest research in treating endometrial cancer?
• Do you want to know what you can do to improve equity of treatment?  
• Do you want to discuss the  use of mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx, Elahere,for women with recurrent ovarian cancer? 
• Do you want to know if others are experiencing QOL issues like yours? 
• Do you want to discuss low-dose aspiring use for ovarian cancer risk reduction? 
• If you are a health care provider, do you want to know where your patients get information? 
• Do you want to talk about getting involved in advocacy? 

 

What better day to join with other patients, survivors and health care providers that on International Women's Day. We hope to see you on Wednesday. 

Dee and Christina
