On our third edition of The TALK, a series of webinars addressing how parents and kids of every age speak to each other about their health conditions, we had an amazing night with marvelous members of the Multiple Sclerosis community.
On Wednesday, September 30, we were honored to have Dr. Aaron Boster (Board-Certified Neurologist specializing in Multiple Sclerosis and related CNS inflammatory disorders, founder of The Boster Center for Multiple Sclerosis, and popular MS Vlogger.) gives a passionate perspective on MS and community. Brenda Miller (MS certified nurse and MS patient) moderated conversations with Dr. Boster and our excellent panelists featuring: Karrie Anderson (diagnosed in 2010), her husband, Cris, and their 13-year-old son, Kellen. Wanda Terrell (diagnosed in mid-1990s) and her 27-year-old daughter, Tazia. Justin Weiss (diagnosed in 2008), his 17-year-old daughter, Megan. And Channing Barker (diagnosed in 2006 when she was 16) with her mother, Patti.
You’ll hear about different challenges these families have experienced (and overcame), talking about your diagnosis, and how MS impacts everyone. We sincerely thank our medical experts, panelists, and co-sponsors A Couple Takes on MS; Jennifer and Dan Digmann.

Our “Active Surveillance & Beyond” webinar series here at AnCan has been wildly popular. With top medical experts in AS giving incredible presentations and answering your questions, it’s a hit for a reason. We had the pleasure of having Dr. Peter Carroll (Department of Urology, UCSF), who is considered a pioneer in AS, start us off with a blast!
Hear his thoughts on biopsies, who best qualifies for AS, and how he uses AS in his own practice. We want to thank Dr. Carroll for answering so many of our attendees’ questions. You’ll also see our own AS Virtual Support Group moderators and community members, Joe Gallo, Mark Lichty, Elliot Kerman, Howard Wolinsky, and special guest: Jim Schraidt, Chairman of USTOO.
On our second edition of The TALK, a series of webinars addressing how parents and kids of every age speak to each other about their health conditions, we had the pleasure of having the ovarian cancer community share their perspectives with us.

We were so thrilled to have our own Ovarian Cancer Virtual Support Group moderator Ilana Feuchter (of NOCC) welcome our guests and attendees. Most important of all, we had wonderful family members of all kinds share vulnerable and honest conversations about their own “talks”. Maria Ciesla and her daughter, Alex Cornwell. Ni Guttenfelder, and her sister Leigha. Elena Solomon, and her daughter Liz Solomon. And the McConnell family, with Craig, Ross, and Corey.
There were many laughs, tears, and heartfelt moments. Including great answers to your questions by our experts.
