I just published “MOTHER-DAUGHTER MORTALITIES” medium.com/@neworleansinseas…
MOTHER-DAUGHTER MORTALITIES

MOTHER-DAUGHTER MORTALITIES

When I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at 45 one of the worst things I had to accept was that my mother would have to watch me…

A #BitofBeauty from our garden. Peonies came from my grandparents in PA to my parents in NY and now me in MA, making the original plants around 80 years old.

To have this much influence and this many resources at your disposal, yet still ineffectively utilizing it and benefiting only part of the affected population...its just plain sad @SusanGKomen #pinkisnotacure #fundresearch xitter.gq/METUPorg/status/100183…

Hey @BCBSLA you decided not to cover the TACE liver treatment my radiation oncologist is recommending because he has seen it work for other patients in a position similar to mine. You won’t cover it because it’s ‘investigational’ but isn’t that how science advances?

You just have to wonder why one of the largest breast cancer non-profits does not understand the sexualization of #breastcancer is not cool with anyone. What about the 30% who detected BC early & it came back to kill them? You should be ashamed @SusanGKomen & @AdCouncil #bcsm xitter.gq/susangkomen/status/999…

Hey @BCBSLA why are you denying me the TACE liver treatment I need to stay alive? You say it’s investigational and won’t cover it. To me it is life extending. Obviously your profits are more important than my life.

So my #sbcinfographic I created in 2015 will be taken over by 2 chairites who won't be giving me any credit for it whatsoever (apart from in one of their "good practise" report) But yes I'm an "inspiration" Tell that to my kids when I'm dead...

Money is power & drug companies keep patient advocate groups & non-profits silent on drug cost by giving them a lot of it. xitter.gq/abcdiagnosis/status/92…

Joan, it’s hard to respect your work when it specifically excludes women with MBC and rejects our need for research on metastasis.
