Shockney, the administrative director of the Johns Hopkins Avon Foundation Breast Center since 1997, is a two-time breast cancer survivor; she has worked tirelessly to improve the care of breast cancer patients around the world.  Shockney is a published author and nationally recognized public speaker on the subject of breast cancer.  She has written 13 books and more than 200 articles on the subject.  She will share her expertise with Conference attendees. 

“Education, Healing and Hope: Breast Cancer Survivor Conference”  for breast cancer survivors, their families and supporters will be held  March 3, 9:00 am to 2:30 pm, Hilton Garden Inn, 3720 Reserve Street, Missoula, Montana.  Shockney will share insights from her book “Stealing Second Base: A Breast Cancer Survivor’s Experience and Breast Cancer Expert’s Story”, a unique, empowering, and often humorous story about her breast cancer experience from many perspectives. She will share her motivational and medical expertise and provides practical, important information on breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and pre- and post-surgery quality of life.  Lunch will be served and participants can select from a variety of Table Talk topics.  A Resource Fair will be held during the conference. 

The Montana Affiliate addresses unmet needs by assessing breast health care gaps in Montana and awarding local grants for breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs.  The Survivor Conference is an education opportunity provided by the organization.
