Help is available

Financial concerns needn't be too big a burden, especially if you are close enough to drive. Conference registration costs in the past have been covered by the drug company sponsors and cheap hotels are available, try bidding very low on Priceline. Meals are partly provided and inexpensive buffets shouldn't be too hard to find at a nearby casino. Stay away from the tables!!

A good reason to attend is to find other patients living close to you who canshare experiences. The presentations are first rate and new discoveries are constantly being discussed, particularly drug cocktails and newer drugs, such as HDACs. The next year's conference will be on the other coast, so this is a great opportunity for you and your dad.
