Researchers Find Switch That Turns on the Spread of Cancer
February 20, 2010 by Vicki Tashman, founder
Reporting in the journal Nature Cell Biology, researchers describe the discovery of a specific protein called disabled-2 (Dab2) that switches on the process that releases cancer cells from the original tumor and allows the cells to spread and develop into new tumors in other parts of the body.
Genes Linked to Breast Cancer Drug Resistance Could Guide Future Treatment Choices

Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have discovered a gene activity signature that predicts a high risk of cancer recurrence in certain breast tumors that have been treated with commonly used chemotherapy drugs.
This is a video of an flash mob dance we organized at my hospital in December to celebrate survivorship. It was so inspiring to be there and I wanted to share it with all of you.

Are you a breast cancer survivor? Were you recently diagnosed with breast cancer? If so, you should know about BreastCancerTrials.org, the only clinical trial matching service exclusively dedicated to breast cancer.
Usually when I have a booth at a conference, it's breast cancer related. Every year, we exhibit at the Young Survival Coalition's Annual conference, the Oncology Nurses Society Congress and the National Consortium of Breast Center's conference. But on October 26th and 27th, we had a booth at the Governor and First Lady's Woman's Conference held annually in Long Beach, CA. They expected a total of 25,000 people to attend the conference with headliners such as Katie Couric, Maria Shriver (our First Lady), Elizabeth Edwards and many more. We had many survivors introduce themselves at our booth and we also sold some product to raise money. I also met a number of interesting people, with a variety of organizations and companies that I thought you might be interested in.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Remember When Scrapbooking Store hosted our 2nd Scrap'n Support, a Scrapbook Royalty affiliate event to benefit Pink-Link. We had 30 scrapbookers creating memories and learning about breast health and how to do a self breast exam. The event was a big success and we raised $5,000! Wanna see some pictures?
