Hi all. Sorry I've sort of dropped off for a bit. I'm having to focus every bit on my budding photography business now to stay housed so I confess I'm a bit distracted. So sorry to hear we lost Dr Tennant recently too. Another mensch. 🥺✌️

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

A personalized vaccine for melanoma cut the risk of cancer returning after five years

If the vaccine is effective in a late-stage trial, it would be “paradigm-shifting,” one expert said.

The design has a teal background with white text and several images: an X-ray of a neck with orange measurement lines and arrows, a medical spine model being pointed at with a pen, and an illustration of a woman shrugging with palms up. Yellow question-mark icons appear on the left and right.

Sorry I've been a bit absent. I'm battling a gnarly health issue while trying to attend summer craft markets with my photography. I'm struggling with both. But hopefully not too much longer on the first issue. Follow @photograbee.bsky.social for the latter.

Remembering Beloved EDS Specialist Dr. Rodney Grahame (1932-2026) www.chronicpainpartners.com/remembering-... #EDS #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #hEDS #HSD #Zebras #Medicine #Doctors #NEISvoid

A memorial-style poster on a teal background with white text, two white doves holding olive branches, a crying zebra illustration, and a photo of two people standing together at an indoor event.

Text on the poster says:
EDS Awareness
Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes
Remembering EDS champion: Dr. Grahame
1932 - 2026

In the photo, Dr. Grahame, an older light-skinned man with short gray hair and glasses is wearing a light beige jacket over a blue striped shirt. Next to him is Jan Groh, a light-skinned woman with short dark hair and glasses wearing a patterned dress and a scarf, with visible forearm supports/braces and a blue-handled mobility aid. Two small candle illustrations appear near the bottom corners.

Just found out that May is #EDSAwarenessMonth! I have #hEDS & was diagnosed in my late 20s, & have been fighting for my own advocacy. I tell my stories so someone else in similar shoes feels seen when they read them. That's how I started looking for answers. #EDS is the zebra with many stripes.

I've talked to some people in different organizations and when I tell them one of my main goals is to raise SSI to where I can survive people like scoff at me. "Well, that'll never happen!" I'm like well I love to hear your ideas about how I can actually survive on my own🤔
