Upcoming LRF Event

As you may know, I like to promote some of the webinars and workshops the the LRF (the Lymphoma Research Foundation). I've been able to attend them in person and online, and I think they're great. They usually involve one or more oncologists giving a presentation, and then time for questions and answers. Sometimes the topics are very general, and sometimes they are very specific. But the LRF usually does a great job of finding speakers who know the latest research on Lymphoma, and who can explain things clearly. 

There is a big  LRF event coming up that is worth attending -- the "National Lymphoma Workshop: Understanding Lymphoma Basics and Current Treatment Options."

This a virtual workshop, so everything is online. The date is Saturday, March 16, and it runs from 9:30am to 1:30pm. The first part of the webinar is a general overview of Lymphoma. After there, there are individual sessions for different types of lymphoma, including one for Follicular Lymphoma, led by Dr. Laurie Sehn of the British Columbia Cancer Agency. (Dr. Sehn was one of the panelists from the video series that I linked to a couple of weeks ago. She knows her stuff.)

After a break, there are two more general sessions -- one on Nutrition with Peter Adintori of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and one on Integrative Medicine with Dr. Santhosshi Narayanan of MD Anderson Cancer Center. These should be very good. I'm especially interested in the Integrative Medicine session, which will look at the ways traditional cancer treatment can be supplemented with other practices. Always a fascinating topic.

You can use the link above to see the full agenda and to register for the workshop. As I said, the LRF does a good job of finding speakers who can explain things well. This workshop should be the same way.

I hope some of you can find time to attend, and get something out of it.
