Chicago – All That Jazz AND a Bunch of Cancer Nerds

Next week is the most exciting time of year for those of us who work in and around cancer. The American Society of Clinical Oncology takes over Chicago the first weekend of June every year for its annual meeting (known simply as ASCO), and our PEN team will be there in full force! With over 45,000 attendees expected, it gives us a great opportunity to highlight our programs that provide impact for cancer patients, their care partners, and healthcare professionals. We have a booth, courtesy of ASCO, and can interact with researchers, providers, fellow advocates, and survivors.  

More than anything, being in ASCO’s gigantic exhibit hall at the McCormick Center gives you a feeling of just how many individuals devote their careers to fighting cancer. And with all the great news releases that are sure to come next week as important research results are reported, the sense of progress and hope is tremendous. 

Be sure to follow PEN on social media as we will share our experiences and help you understand the advances in treatment shared at the event: 

And join us (including our Staff, Board and Empowerment Lead survivors) to celebrate Cancer Survivors Day on Sunday, June 2.
