The meeting will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Following an optional yoga session, attendees will be provided with breakfast and lunch between the many sessions and expert panels directed toward patients with breast cancer. Topics will include managing side effects of treatment, survivorship care planning, genetic counseling and psychosocial, behavioral and communication issues in breast cancer care.
