Every single thing just said deserves to be heard. So I’m just retweeting in a thread. @tigerlilycares @SABCSSanAntonio #SABCS21 #amplify

Therapist: No.

We want to draw attention to the lovely and amazing @ThanksCancer, who's been suspended from @Twitter due to buts misunderstanding a comment she made in sympathy with another patient. They won't let her back on unless she "admits" it was harassment/abuse.

Okay women warriors, question for y’all.. @ThanksCancer … am I still a “survivor ” if I’m fighting stage 4 MBC? Because I’m not a “survivor” anymore, I’m not going to survive. I’m just fighting for time. What does that make me?

Public service announcement: it's not a dying patients job to 'spread positivity and love so you feel comfortable. If the reality if the disease is too hard for you than that's on you. Metastatic breast cancer isn't going to ever get the attention it deserves if we sit sit down ,

Did you know? Individuals with #LFS are at an increased risk for a broad spectrum of cancers, including lung. Check out the paper below by experts in Brazil looking at the prevalence of the #TP53 R337H founder in #lungcancer #LCSM #LiFraumeniSyndromeAwarenessmonth 👇👇👇

Have you scheduled your annual mammogram yet this year? If not, can you make that a priority? Keeping up with imaging is important so that changes can be detected at an early stage. jenniferadouglas.com/get-you…

March is colorectal cancer awareness month, so let me give you a little help in getting screened. For those of you who may be a bit nervous for your first colonoscopy, prep is the worst part! I put this together for a friend a while back, and I hope it helps someone out there.1/n

Toxic positivity is a form of denial.
When you tell someone to "be positive," you're basically saying to them, "my comfort is more important than your reality.”

Patients are not hormone receptor positive. Their cancers are. Patients are not metastatic. Their cancers are. When we write like this—in conf abstracts, in manuscripts, in protocols—it is dehumanizing.

Cancer patients don’t “lose” the “battle”.
Cancer treatments fail.
Modern medicine fails.
People do not.

Staying feisty & positive will not determine #cancer outcome. A positive attitude is not a one-way ticket out of CancerLand. Of this I am quite certain. Dying is not losing a battle; it is not giving up or a failure to beat it. nancyspoint.com/beating-canc… #cancerlanguage #bcsm #bccww

Dear Mexico: Please excuse us for that Cruz caravan that just slipped into Cancun. When America sends its Texas politicians, it's not sending its best.
For the record, we don't claim him.

Re:Bell ringning at cancer centers -I dislike military metaphors describing cancer experience but the military balances celebrating victories and honoring the fallen. With breast cancer we publicly cheer the survivors but fail to publicly honor the dead and dying #bcsm
