Message from Mand 👇 She lifted it from another social account; not sure of its origin but we love the message. #IamStillHere #MetastaticCancer #Cansky Mand is a #CancerDinosaur

Now, on to liver mets with Dr Peter Vermeulen: not all liver mets are equal. #SABCS24

Congratulations to DR Steffi Oesterreichs @oesterreichs on her AACR Award. She has done sooooo much for people with ILC, not just through her brilliant research, but through her embrace of and collaboration with advocates. @metavivor is so proud to have funded her! #SABCS24

#SABCS24 Day 1 Highlights #CommunityOnc: 1. @FDAOncology Reviews recent approvals: #Ribociclib & #Inavolisib 2. #PADMA: HR+ ET + CDK4/6i vs Chemo 1L 3. #DB06: HR+ TDXd 4. #KN522: biomarker analysis #OncSky #CanSky @sabcs.bsky.social @drsarahsammons.bsky.social @dr-rshatsky.bsky.social 1/5

Next up, @fredhutch.bsky.social's Dr. Sara Hurvitz moderates a packed panel on clinical approaches to ER+ #metastatic #breastcancer. Happy to see patient advocates on so many panels! #AmyBeumer will be bringing in the patient voice here. #bcsm @oncoalert.bsky.social #sabcs24 #cansky #oncosky

I’m so glad I listened to the oncologist on this. It felt counterintuitive to go for a walk when I was so fatigued from chemo. But it really did help. 1/2 #graphicmedicine #cansky #breastcancer #lifewriting

The food you eat may be affecting your body's ability to fight cancer cells. MSK's gastroenterologist Dr. Robin Mendelsohn explains what may be the cause (via @cnn.com ) ⬇️ #cansky

Remember for my YAs out there particularly…. More and more advocacy work is needed to show that with a YA #Cancer diagnosis there is much more at play. -time off work -fertility -financially planning -social circle pressure Just some of the things🫶🏻 #Cansky #Oncsky

How chemotherapy has an impact on #ovariancancer and the potential for maintaining its efficacy with immunotherapy. Still early stage research but potentially very promising. #cansky #ovcasky #medsky #TCells healthcare-in-europe.com/en/news/chem...

Managing cancer care (appts, meds, messages, billing) is often a full-time job. This survey shows how admin burdens like #PriorAuth make people delay/forgo care. While most (gen non-elderly population) don't encounter billing, >1/3 who do delay/miss care because of it. #CanSky #OncSky #MedSky

The study looked at men going thru "active surveillance" 4 their low-risk #prostatecancer. Cool potential here 4 reducing the pt burden since active surveillance involves going in 4 many biopsies, blood draws, MRIs. Today at #SABCS24, active monitoring 4 low-risk #DCIS came up. 👍#cansky #oncosky

The holidays are stressful. The holidays with cancer are especially stressful. I wrote a blog/made a vlog about some ways to manage this. Easier said than done, but well worth attempting. Blog: mantacares.com/blogs/newsle... Vlog: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQVk... #thankscancer #cansky #oncosky

Disinformation and Misinformation shared by Steven Bartlett in his so-called health podcast has multiple dubious claims, debunked ‘experts’ including Malhotra and people with stakes in wellness including the host who also makes £££ from the podcasts. 😡😡😡🧪

Without discussing sudden death, pain control with morphine, needing more rest, looking back with gratitude or forward with adjusted hopes, we were able to discuss every aspect of her care with her. Her metaphor. And our astonishing privilege.

If I’ve learned anything, it’s that our sense of identity (and how we feel other people perceive us) is crucial to our ability to heal. #graphicmedicine #cansky #breastcancer

Patients always ask what they can do to improve outcomes. Meta-analysis shows exercise improves fatigue, QoL and dyspnoea in advanced lung cancer https://buff.ly/3ZHjNcD Found with researchbriefing.com

#journorequest - looking to talk to people in Ireland who will be working on Christmas Day - perhaps in hospitality, healthcare, travel, emergency services etc. DM today if any thoughts. RTs appreciated. @dublinairport.bsky.social

#MedSky🧪 #OncoSky #publichealth Could #breastcancer survival rates be improved simply by timing treatment to a specific stage of the menstrual cycle? 🐁 & human data suggest sensitivity to #chemotherapy is affected by fluctuations in ovarian hormones. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Re: SONIA results (CDK 4/6i 1st or 2nd line). Post-hoc analysis of lobular v. ductal stuck out for almost favoring 1st line in lobular. Small numbers, tight line in the forest plot --> even more intriguing. Follow up needed and/or consider this in decision making? Thoughts? #lobmob #oncsky #bcsm

I see things like this and I can't help but think that giftedness was a nice way to tell wealthy American parents that their kids were autistic

The holiday season can be magical, but for those of us with cancer or other challenges, it can feel overwhelming. Feeling rattled, I revisited my 2019 blog post. I hope it helps others navigating cancer during the holidays. https://buff.ly/3ZsZsGL #Cansky #oncsky #ThanksCancer

Spot on! We all need to be clued on & aware of the possibility of cancer, even in the younger population. Gone are the days when cancer was only considered a disease of the aged…increased research is throwing more light, better testing can pick up cancers early & result in better outcomes

This is the best explanation of breast cancer in men published to date. www.mdanderson.org/cancerwise/m... #Cansky #Oncosky #CancerBS

Men get breast cancer too . Please give this a read #cansky#oncsky

Very low and slow in the oven in a covered heavy or cast iron casserole dish. 150c in a fan oven until the meat is falling off the bone, about 4.5 hours will do to. Baste it every 2 hours and test after 4 hours.

I blamed myself so much when I was diagnosed. This was a) a waste of time and b) entirely understandable, from an emotional perspective. But it wasn’t my fault. And if you’ve been diagnosed it’s not your fault, either. #cansky #breastcancer #lifewriting #graphicmedicine #booksky

Loving this new paper on complexity in medicine, using pediatrics as the worked example. Too many medical authors (and the MRC) run fast and loose with the terms 'complexity' and 'complex interventions'. They should read this paper. #medsky #academicsky #philsci 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

1/3 In this week’s NEJM: Andre et al report very positive results of dual ICB in MSI cancers. Logical, right? But why is this very interesting from an immunological point of view? About 75% lacks HLA class I. Likely innate immune mechanisms are centrally involved dx.doi.org/10.1158/1078...
