Oncology checkup today, and my doc ordered extra bloodwork I haven’t had before. I asked what it was. “Oh, this one tests for any evidence of cancer in your DNA to predict recurrence.” So that’s me updating the patient portal every 2 minutes until the results post… @thankscancer.bsky.social

A special shout out to M44's hero and Board member, Leanna House... otherwise known on social media as @ThanksCancer! Leanna rescued M44 today by donating enough money for us to buy a new (refurbished) desktop computer. Whew! Onward we GO! We are both relieved and grateful! THANKS, Leanna!

There are plenty of guides about “what not to say to someone with cancer” and while I fully agree with these (and have offered my own advice on this matter) I don’t want loved ones to feel too nervous about reaching out with clumsy words. Better to do that than not be there at all. #cansky

“This abrupt change in the way grants are funded will have devastating consequences on medical science...Many people will lose jobs, clinical trials will halt, and this will slow down progress toward cures for cancer and effective prevention of illness.” www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately

The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

My son just got news his cancer is in remission last month. As long as he was eating I didn’t care what it was. There is a lot of emotional and mental stress that accompanies this physical diagnosis. They are fighting to cope and survive, support but don’t judge.

Update on World Cancer day! DOCETAXEL isn’t doing enough. Nothing is exploding but previous nodes are become more dense and some increasing. No bone or liver mets. So some gifts on National Cancer day but maybe also and ugly sweater. 😂 Switching to ENHERTU as I am also HERS2+. #ThanksCancer

@thankscancer.bsky.social Oncologists asked for a PET Scan. Insurance denied and said a CT scan would be adequate. Just got the paperwork. PET imaging only supported for Stage 4 that spread to bones. I've had stage 4 breast cancer for 10+ years with Mets to my sternum and ribs for at least 5. 🤦‍♀️
