I would never wish cancer on someone, but sometimes I wish people knew what it felt like to go through this entire process. Even for those who are cleared after surgery or treatment, it sticks with you. Some days more than others. #Cansky

Coming from a family of sisters, I very much enjoyed telling the story of these 2 #badass sisters, both diagnosed w/a #BRCA2 mutation that drove their early-stage #breastcancer. #Hereditarycancer happens, but u can manage yr risk! More info in my @fredhutch.org story. #CanSky #HCAW #knowyourrisk

#Cansky Being the advocacy space is rewarding. However, one of the things that really gets under my skin and makes me feel terrible are predatory people or “businesses” that prey on the newly diagnosed with the hope of a cure or remission. It’s sickening.

#Cansky your meeting with your team and doctors must include shared decision making. Ideally your doctor should encourage that shared conversation in the app when you meet with them.

#Cansky My cancer peeps. Remember. Any doctors worth their merit will have no issue with you getting a second opinion and will often encourage it. If not, that’s a red flag 🔻 in my book.

#Cansky One of the hardest things for patients post cancer diagnosis, is the confounding confusion there is with learning a “new” language. Stage, grade, type, etc are ALL things that patients must learn.

How many times do we have this discussion in the #cansky patient and caregiver communities? Palliative care is not "giving up", it's about quality of life. Backed with evidence. Ask. @smartpatients.bsky.social

Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.

Appointments suck. They are a part of it. But I do tend to tell patients many appointments won’t be life changing. Think of it like getting your oil changed. You’ll hear some stuff but it might not even be cancer related. It’ll like be like a mechanic mentioning to change your air filters. #Cansky

The ONE thing I always tell someone newly diagnosed with cancer is, it WILL get better once a plan is in place. Will it be 100% better, no, but it will improve. #Cansky

American drug companies Merck and Moderna have created a vaccine that has stopped skin cancer returning in patients during a trial. Each vaccine is created specifically for an individual patient by sequencing DNA from patient's tumor and using mRNA to create the vaccine.
