Maybe it's my years in journalism, but I think it surprises me more than anything else! Especially in a day and age when we have so much information available to us from so many directions, I am surprised that it does not come naturally to anyone planning such a conference to include information from as many kinds of sources as possible. It seems -- SEEMS -- like a no-brainer, but clearly it isn't.
It does seem like it would be hard to choose a topic or a patient participant simply because there are so many topics and because everyone's experience is so different. With an audience of cancer patients, how do you pick something relevant to as many as possible?

Anyway, I hope your idea prevailed!
