I am finally happy to announce that the Midwest/St. Louis GIST gathering will be held on April 26th at the Siteman Cancer Center. There is a hotel (Parkway Hotel) that is attached to the hospital and I will be getting more information regarding the rate (it will be a special hospital rate) for those interested. The Siteman Cancer Center will also be providing the food so they will be setting up a registration hotline for those who are attending so they can get a more accurate head count. As far as what will be going on that day: the day might start off at around 9AM, speakers include: Dr. Joel Picus from Siteman Cancer Center speaking about medical updates and clinical research, a nutritionist and a psychologist. More importantly though, a chance for all of us to meet each other. We meet with the Siteman Cancer Center next on February 6th, so I will update the blog and support groups with more detailed information as soon as it is available. Please email me at campbellksoup@hotmail.com if you have any other additional questions.
A special thanks to Ally Klein and Dennis Luber (also GIST survivors) for their hard work and determination to get this thing rolling.
Thank You,
Katie Campbell
