Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Dear All, The conference is getting close and we hope that as many people as possible will take advantage of being there to hear all these experts on PSC in one place. We really do have the leading experts attending and they will be ready to answer your questions! This really is something that can help you to manage your disease in the future. Come with your questions ready not only for the medical experts but also for your fellow members who have gained experience throughout the years. For those of you in the Pittsburgh area, this is your time to save on travel and hotel. The registration cost will cover your meals and snacks. The breakout sessions are going to be great and will help all of us dealing with some of the difficult issues. Personally, I'm interested in hearing: Dr. Lindor and the latest from Mayo Dr. Bergasa and the different treatments for itching Dr. Chopra and the medical management of PSC Dr. Baidoo and IBD in PSC Dr. Matarase and Nutrition for PSC and IBD Our own and his update on PSC research !! All of these panels will have a Q & A session. There are more talks for those with transplant concerns and also a talk on endoscopy. I'm also really interested in Saturday afternoon's and Sunday's breakout sessions. With a young son, I'm particularly interested in the talk on disability/social security and insurance issues. I want to hear Ivor's update on the latest from Dr. Chapman and the research in the UK Check out the other sessions, there is so much more. Of course it can't be all business and no play, so I am really looking forward to Saturday's dinner and hearing Klug speak! He is such an inspiration. Please don't miss this opportunity. There is so much more. Just go to our website : www.pscpartners.org and click on 2006 Conference. We are all working hard to make this the best of weekends. We will all benefit from meeting with the experts and each other. Hope to see you there! Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying for the last several weeks to work things out so I can make it to the conference, and it looks like I'll be able to. The only problem is that I notice all fees are supposed to be in by the 28th. I can put a check in the mail tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I can trust the postal service to get it there in time. Is this OK, or is there a quicker way to get it there (besides fedexing it overnight!)? I'm looking forward to it! athan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 , That is great news that you are coming to the conference. We have the March 28th deadline to help us with the planning and getting numbers to the hotel. I will be adding a few extra slots...for those that decide they can come afterall. I wouldnt want anyone to miss this conference if they had the chance to attend. I look forward to meeting you.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 As the conference gets closer I get more bummed that I can't afford to make it this year. You guys have been such a support to us this year and the conference sounds amazing.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 To all of the folks out there who cannot make the conference this time in Pittsburgh- Maybe those of us that are there, if one of us has a laptop, can keep you up to date while at the conference. Just a thought. I would be willing to write up some of the sessions if some other folks can help out. Not a real detailed report but at least a short info blurb. Maybe if you have questions you can write back and we might be able to ask someone the question. What do you all think? Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Ali, I am not able to attend and would love to know what is going on. I think you have a great idea.
