We are at a tipping point for breast cancer vaccines. Recent discoveries have identified the type of immune response we need to eradicate cancers, numerous immunogenic proteins expressed by breast cancer that can be targeted with vaccines, and novel vaccine technologies that are safe an effective in generating immunity. These advances have been translated to breast cancer vaccines progressing rapidly in the clinic for treatment, prevention of disease recurrence, and even prevent of the development of breast cancer.

AMY BANOCY | BEST SELLING AUTHOR, ENTREPRENEUR, DYNAMIC SPEAKER, FACILITATOR AND MOM

BARING IT ALL…well, almost ALL of it!

3 touchstones for keeping it real and taking care of yourself during your breast cancer "f*ckery", as experienced by a recovering optimist and people pleaser.

When Amy Banocy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020, it challenged everything she knew about herself. As a serial optimist, she thought she’d tackle cancer the same way she did everything else; with positivity and a smile. After all, as a coach and speaker, she was teaching others the power of these traits for a living. 

When things got crazy and she was hit with unexpected curveballs, Amy found it hard to keep up the positive mindset she’d always relied on. This was very difficult for her to grapple with and understand. She hid her emotions, which led to her fearing how not being 100% positive might impact her health. At the same time, she craved a safe space to scream and release all of the emotional trauma she was experiencing. 

All this while exhausted, nauseous, and trying to lovingly kick cancer’s ass.

Perhaps you can relate?

You will leave this webinar feeling confident about fully expressing the emotions that come with a breast cancer diagnosis, while also maintaining a healthy outlook and taking care of YOU. These tips helped Amy through her breast cancer “journey”, or as she refers to it, her breast cancer “fuckery”, and have also led her to change how she lives every day. Spoiler alert: it turns out a smile and “I’m fine”, aren’t always the best answer.

DR. BETH BAUGHMAN DUPREE | MD, FACS, ABOIM, CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER OF INNERSTILL HEALTH, CALIBER MEDICAL AND GATEWAY SCIENCES

After 35 years of treating women and men with a diagnosis of breast cancer, Dr. Beth Dupree, MD came to know all too well that survivorship MUST begin at diagnosis and we cannot sit still until “thrivership” is achieved. All too often western medicine has failed to treat the whole person leaving massive gaps in patient care. Dr. DuPree has been trained by the best western medicine physicians and surgeons to cut out cancer and has become a respected national and international thought leader in breast cancer care. Her passion and purpose, though, is improving the “journey to healing” that each and every woman and man travels after a diagnosis. Please join us for an inspirational talk as she shares her personal journey to healing. As a surgeon who was trained that “nothing heals like cold steel" and "to cut is to cure”, Dr. DuPree needed to pay attention to the subtle signs in her life and embrace the healer that resides inside of her. She is truly a healer that chose to be a surgeon in this lifetime. She hopes to inspire you on your journey to healing.

ZORAIDA MENDEZ | CANCER CARE ONCOLOGY

The COC Protocol is a combination regime of four commonly prescribed medications, each with evidence of metabolically-based anticancer activity, and well understood safety profiles. These medications are: metformin, atorvastatin, doxycycline, and mebendazole. Some of the studies which support the use of the COC Protocol as an adjunctive therapy alongside current standard treatments for breast cancer will be discussed. This evidence mainly comes from laboratory studies, large epidemiological studies (which investigate links between taking medications and breast cancer outcomes in groups of individuals), and early stage clinical trials.
