STATEMENT: My name is Erica Takimoto and I was the fortunate recipient of the FLASCO travel award in the Spring 2016 prior to completing my fellowship at Florida Hospital in Gynecologic Oncology in July of 2016. The funds provided by the FLASCO travel award
allowed me to attend our National Society of Gynecologic Oncology Annual meeting as well as the Business of Oncology Summit at Gaylord Palms. This afforded me the opportunity to present my research poster at the national SGO meeting, as well as network and connect with our oncology colleagues throughout the state at the FLASCO meeting, where I learned a great deal regarding the business side of oncology. The presentations outlined current changes in business practice, and also what we can expect to be implemented with our ongoing healthcare climate. At the completion of the session, I felt better prepared for the changes to come. There was a wide variety of exhibitors at each Expo center who were excellent resources for information on everything from new drugs and symptom management, to patient clinical registries, better equipping up to take the best possible care of our patients. I am thankful for the opportunity presented by FLASCO, and I am happy to see the ongoing support for young oncology fellows from the state of Florida.

Key Note Speaker Diana Jordan Healthcare & Wellness Speaker & Humorist
“The Healing Power of Laughter” OBJECTIVES:
1. Understand ASCO strategies 2. Understand ASCO opportunities 3. Review past victories
BIOGRAPHY: Having entertained over a million people live and on television, Diana Jordan came to realize that by making people laugh, she helped them deal with life's stresses, motivated them, and taught them what she’d learned over the past 25 years about how great laughter is in nourishing yourself and changing your outlook on life.
Diana has toured the country many times over as an extremely successful stand up comedian and successful author. She is also a cancer survivor and speaks of her journey to many cancer organizations and events nationwide. In Diana's Keynote
address, motivational messages ring loud and true about how we can make the choice to be happy, find the funny in your life, taking responsibility for your own health, ways to bust stress and in doing just these four things can make a happier, healthier, and more productive you! And it's funny too!
Diana has been nominated by the American Comedy Awards as one of the Top Five Female Comedians in the country. She's been seen on Showtime, Showtime Specials, HBO, ComedyCentral, VH1, and many more. Diana has also used her talent as a writer in a hilarious best selling book which was featured on Oprah called, "A Wife's Little Instruction Book, Your Survival Guide To Marriage Without Bloodshed!" which has sold over 500,000 copies. Motivational speaking was a natural transition for Diana. She realized her gift and talent for comedy was much needed around the country. For the last two decades Diana has also headlined America's top comedy clubs and entertained our troops overseas. For over a year she performed her widely popular one-woman-show, "Female, Fertile, and Frustrated!" which she Wrote, Produced, Directed, and Starred in at the world famous Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena, California . "Female, Fertile, and Frustrated!" is still the longest running one person show in the forty year history of The Ice House. No longer FERTILE, Diana makes light of getting older and using humor to cope with being a breast cancer survivor. 'When my Reconstruction Surgeon ask me if I wanted to go up a cup size or two I told him, 'let me put it this way, when I fly I want to be the flotation device!"
Diana studied Improv comedy many years in "Off the wall" classes with classmate Robin Williams (whom she also dated) and has been under contract to the CBS Network and Twentieth Century Fox for her own sit-com which she also wrote and a member of SAG, AFTRA, The National Speakers Association, and The Writers Guild of America. She has opened in concert around the country for major stars as well as at The Kennedy Center, Garden State Arts Center, and Radio City Music Hall. She has also been Master of Ceremonies for many gala events with such prestigious Speakers as Former Secretary of State, General Colin Powell and Yolanda King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King.
Diana can also be seen in her co-starring role in "Loretta's Suprise' which was at the Sundance Film Festival and Director Cameron Crowe hand picked her to be in the divorced women's group in the Oscar nominated movie 'Jerry Macguire' with Tom Cruise. You'll see her sitting next to Cruise during the now famous "You complete me" and "You had me at hello" scenes! Cruise says, "Diana is funny and smart, she 'had me at her first joke!"
A world traveler, Diana has lived in Greece, Hawaii, Chicago, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and even ‘starved’ while working as a waitress in New York to get a job on Broadway. She never gives up!

“The Art Of Active Listening: Communicating Emotionally Charged or Difficult News”
OBJECTIVES: 1. To enhance the healthcare professionals communication skills when delivering a new and/or serious diagnosis and handling
difficult questions. 2. To apply empathetic counseling skills with patients facing serious health consequences. 3. To formulate sensitive responses to patients adjusting to or effected by the diagnosis. 4. To support patients so they are better able to understand their medical status and participate in their own care.
BIOGRAPHY: Lillie D. Shockney has been the administrative director of the Johns Hopkins Breast Center since 1997. A two-time breast cancer survivor, Lillie has worked tirelessly to improve the care of breast cancer patients around the world. She is a registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science degree in health care administration from Saint Joseph's College and a Masters in Administrative Science from the Johns Hopkins University. She has worked at Johns Hopkins since 1983. She is also certified as a breast imaging and breast cancer patient navigator. Beginning the end of 2011, she accepted the inaugural role as director of the Johns Hopkins cancer survivorship programs for the Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins.
Lillie is a published author and nationally recognized public speaker on the subject of breast cancer. She has written 14 books and more than 250 articles on this subject. She serves on the medical advisory board of several national breast cancer organizations and is the co-founder and vice president of a national non-profit organization called Mothers Supporting Daughters with Breast Cancer.
Lillie is also editor-in-chief of a new peer-reviewed medicine journal called Journal of Oncology Navigation and Survivorship, which launched in Spring 2011. She also serves as the chairman of the Leadership Council of the Academy of Oncology Nurse Navigators (AONN), a national organization that provides a network for all professionals involved and interested in patient navigation and survivorship care services to better manage the complexities of the cancer care treatment continuum for their patients. This is a professional organization she co-founded in 2009. Beginning in July 2012, she accepted the leadership role of Program Director of AONN.
She is the consultant for breast cancer for national ABC News and Good Morning America, and is also consulted regularly by the Today Show and CNN. She is an active lecturer on various topics related to breast cancer and spoke at the 2010 World Economic Forum, which will featured her lecture, “The Cancer Paradigm Shift: Who Will Take Care of the Breast Cancer Survivors?”.
Lillie serves as “Ask an Expert” for several breast cancer websites, including the Johns Hopkins Breast Center, among others. She also is an active clinical researcher with a focus on quality of life issues for survivors, as well as a strong advocate of the value of humor as a beneficial form of complementary medicine. View Lillie’s online seminar, Breast Cancer Detection and Treatment: What All Women Should Know.
In 2008, the Johns Hopkins Board of Trustees appointed her to a chair as a University Distinguished Service Assistant Professor of Breast Cancer. This is the first time in the history of the institution that a hospital nurse has been appointed to a distinguished service designation. Ms. Shockney has recently been promoted to full professor in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She is the first nurse in the country to have a primary appointment in the school of medicine and achieved the highest academic rank of full professor in surgery and oncology and also University Distinguished Service Professor of Breast Cancer.
In an effort to increase engagement among physicians, clinicians
and administration (including attendance at events), the FLASCO
Board of Directors agreed to extend complimentary
membership through December 31, 2018 for physicians, nurse
practitioners, physician assistants and office staff from practices,
academic centers and hospitals in the oncology community.
