What's New @ FORCE

Same Web Address, Improved Information

In November 2005 we launched a completely redesigned website, www.facingourrisk.org, where visitors can view comprehensive information about hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. Now it’s easier to navigate through the many online information options, whether you’re looking for links to the latest research on hereditary cancers, looking for risk management options, or want to know how to find a genetic counselor in your area. You’ll find current and archived editions of our Joining FORCEs newsletter, and easy-to-use online forms to subscribe to the print version, or send us feedback. Our popular message board is still available with the same format.

First Annual FORCE Conference

Our first FORCE national conference will be held February 10-11, 2006 in Tampa. Focused towards those with BRCA mutations or other risk factors for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, “Joining FORCEs Against Hereditary Cancer” will feature internationally-known physicians and researchers. Attendees will have plenty of opportunities for learning, networking and support. Dr. Susan Love, the featured speaker at an optional FORCE benefi t dinner, will discuss her breast cancer prevention research. Our next newsletter will include highlights from the conference.
