It’s impossible to understand what it’s like to hear the words ‘you have cancer’ unless you’ve experienced it. This analogy is the only way that comes close to describing it. Thanks for capturing it @barbarasegarra! #LCSM #ASCO23
What an amazing analogy of what being diagnosed with cancer feels like. You are amazing @jillfeldman4

She found out she’d been breathing a cancer-causing gas for over a decade. So why won’t Canada’s health-care system let her get her lungs tested? https://t.co/8kDCP0lPEN via @torontostar

Canadians with documented levels of elevated radon in their homes are ineligible for publicly funded lung cancer screening, which is only for heavy smokers.

A reminder to @fordnation and his cronies that you do not need to monetize public space in order to make it valuable and fun... @ONPlace4All

My poster at #AACR2023 #AACRSSP highlighted the need for #lungcancer research on the anxiety of “scanxiety.” Thanks to @anguspratt, @A_Redway @Dollybrad @SepehriParisa etc. Great team work!

Last day of brain tumour awareness month. BTs - the biggest killer of children by disease in the West. The biggest cancer killer of under 40s. Usually no treatment options because research is less than 2% of the cancer spend. My son Daniel taken at 17 by DMG brain cancer 💔

This will harm the most vulnerable among us the most. Scariest part: "The ruling applies nationwide."

Proud to have published a case report with the patient herself as a co-author. I hope this becomes a more standard practice as our patients continue to teach “nothing about us without us”. https://t.co/PyTdb7Uwv3

Outstanding @A_Redway!
Proud to have our very own @A_Redway as co-author of her own case report. She has been a critical part of @RETpositive from the very beginning. Grateful to the authors for championing "nothing about us without us", sincerely hoping it becomes the new standard #RETcancer #lcsm

👉R/T We need a reorientation of health systems toward primary care. "This is how we will make a real recovery from the pandemic — and be prepared for the next one. And it is the only path we have back to a world of longer and healthier lives". https://t.co/QRddkXgv5X

The pandemic diverted resources from essential health needs of all kinds. Now America must rally the world to invest in recovery.

Happy to see research on best approach to biomarker testing for RET mutations - more & better testing is needed to identify patients that will benefit from exciting new RET research being driven by the Happy Lungs Project working with @RETpositive and @RetRenegades #WCLC22
