non-Governmental research funding is becoming more important every day. @metavivor.bsky.social received almost double the usual number of letters of intent last week. We need our supporters to be generous this year so we can fund promising research!

Echoing what Stacey said.

Very concerned. And with the removal of information on health disparities and anything on health of the LGBTQ community.

REMINDER: ACE Meeting on cancer vaccines today 1pmPT / 4pmET. Join us to hear from advocate & ACE member Judy Fitzgerald as she shares her experience as an advocate on current vaccine trials. As always presentation will be short so bulk of the time can be spent on Q&A / discussion #OncoSky #Advocacy

Same!!

Tumor board Tuesday!! HR+ MBC! Looking forward to it @dr-rshatsky.bsky.social! #bcsm

Looking More Closely at Breast Cancer in Male Patients Although breast cancer has historically been associated with female patients, the rates of men with breast cancer have been increasing over the past decade.

“Men with breast cancer are often left to fight the disease in silence. This silence has led to psychological and emotional distress in conjunction with illness-related stigmas.”

It’s maddening

Happy solstice ☀️

It’s a privilege to be part of this meaningful work!
The ASCO CDK Dosing Study has the potential to reshape clinical practice for older adults w/ #metastaticbreastcancer. Thnx to PCORI for funding this impactful project.

Thank you- just an other worldly view, hard to take a bad picture heh.

Noooo :-(

Pink clouds. Sunset in the sky

Home sweet home and an awesome sunset in flight.

To build on the progress shared at #SABCS24 for triple-positive MBC ( #PATINA), when treatments stop working, is it the HER2 or HR component driving resistance? Need a biomarker! Patients want the most mileage from every treatment!

PS: Finally, +++ is being treated differently from HER2+/HR–.

Was great to talk to @janicetnbcmets.bsky.social about this a couple days ago —> higher doses are not always better
✨ figuring out the best fit for our pts benefits those who experience a cancer diagnosis, oncologists, as well as pharma companies. Everyone wins with this knowledge!

I did not hear anyone say “grade 5 adverse event” and for that I am grateful.

Hot of the press from @proteuspros - an infographic explaining the value of PROs!
Note - they need to start as parr of the clinical encounter to benefit patients and society.

Spent 90 mins on the #SABCS24 stage, interjecting the advocacy perspective in "From the Trenches" yesterday. It was these voices, and so many others not pictured, that I channeled. Grateful to have them by my side literally & figuratively 💗

Love when MBC, the kind of breast cancer that kills, gets 12 minutes in a 90 minute presentation on what to bring back to the clinic. We’re flying and skipping audience questions. #bcsm #SABCS24

There is no “good risk” only lower risk. There is no good DCIS. Need to talk about absolute risk as well. @coffeemommy.bsky.social #bcsm

This! Also coffee…..

Here’s another impactful session about health disparities #systemic #structuralracism #global #healthequityforall #bcsm #oncoalert #SABCS24 @sabcs.bsky.social @oncoalert.bsky.social @swog.org @yabdoumd.bsky.social

@coffeemommy.bsky.social giving nuance to a conversation about patient treatment on Monday morning. Patients do not live in a utopia and we are not a monolith! #bcsm #sabcs24

That’s true but it’s definitely a better term then deescalation which sounds like “you don’t deserve more treatment” for whatever reason

View from the trenches at #SABCS24 with the amazing @coffeemommy.bsky.social We need to “right size” treatment (NOT “deescalate”) with discussions on risk, benefit and impact of treatment. YES! #oncsky #bcsm

Excellent work! Would love for him to join and share his thoughts here.

This is great! Maybe add in ET alone in first line for select patients (SONIA). Great presentation by Dr. Danso. #bcsn #SABCS24

One year ago, on a sunny afternoon before the last session of #SABCS23, I stood on this balcony chatting with patient and advocate Gwen Manchion, who was stolen by MBC in the interim. This is why we do what we do.
