Detrás de cada diagnóstico de #cancer hay una historia. Detrás de cada #gen, una oportunidad. Escribí #GenesDeEsperanza para demostrar que ciencia y humanidad se unen. ¿La #genómica debería ser accesible para todos los pacientes?

As 2025 ends, I reflect on a year of challenge and opportunity. Two years post-radiotherapy for #breastcancer, I continue navigating life after cancer while advocating for patient-centered care. Closing a chapter at Genome Canada, I step into 2026 with gratitude, hope, and renewed purpose.

With the Federal Budget announcement, MOHCCN moves closer to helping make precision cancer care accessible across Canada. As a scientist, physician, and cancer patient, Dr. Catalina López-Correa knows both the challenges and the opportunities ahead. Learn more: tinyurl.com/22pt6794
Photo of Dr. Lopez-Correa with the Terry Fox statue in Ottawa. Followed by the title of the piece "Why I’m so excited about the potential impact of the Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network" and this quote: "“For me, as a Latina, breast cancer patient and a scientist, being part of this Network has both professional and deeply personal impacts" says Dr. López-Correa. "I know what inequities in cancer care look like and I also know the hope that comes when science, care, and compassion come together.”

All of this. ⤵️ Dr. @clopezcorrea.bsky.social nails it. 💥 I'm often asked if I'm in remission, mostly by well-intentioned people who don't want to hear that I'm sick & expect me to boomerang "back to normal". On the state of my cancer treatment I say, "I still take oral chemotherapy every morning".
