Pro-Tip (n) : amazing advice and/or suggestion from someone who has walked the walk. (ex) save room in your luggage for CancerCon swag

CancerCon, you won’t know until you go. You can’t. What is CancerCon? Well, it’s not a vacation. That would be weird. Cancervation? Yea, also weird. It’s an experience unlike anything you’ve ever... experienced? Ugh. (We just said ‘experience’ twice in the same sentence). You just need to go.

We asked people who have been before what they would tell their pre-CancerCon self. Hopefully they do a better job explaining things.

“If you’re worried about going to @cancercon by yourself — I get it, I was terrified. Looking back though it was one of the best decisions of my life. The people, the community, they “get it.” Take the leap, and show up.” — Jen

But first, let me take a #Selfie. (We couldn’t help ourselves.)

Because, coffee. That is all we should have to say. Coffee. And meeting people.. but mostly coffee.

And snow with only a hoodie to brave the cold is not fun. Like awful. So bad. No fun at all. Trust us. #protip

Get outside. Sometimes you need to get away from the crazy and that is OKAY. There is plenty to see outside those four walls.

There’s no swag like CancerCon swag! Leave room to bring home the good shit.

Hundreds of best friends are waiting to meet you. Get connected, get educated, get inspired and get busy living.

Best Part? There is so much to do. Worst Part? There is so much to do. When you need a second away; take it.

Gotta get that H2O! But seriously, you don’t even realize what you’re about to experience. Hydration is key.
