The progress that keeps on progressing. It’s amazing to see what has been achieved in such a short time , but even more exciting to think what the future holds for our patients #lungcancer – at Torbay, Newfoundland and Labrador
It's always exciting to share some #goodnews. We've published an article in the IASLC Lung Cancer News that looks at the stunning progress achieved in #lungcancer treatment over the last decade. Enjoy and #HappyFriday! #LCSM #FridayFeeling bit.ly/2S8kjxg

Such great news for our patients. Thankful for @LungCancer_Can ongoing advocacy!!
Access to oral cancer drugs in🇨🇦is inconsistent across provinces, and Atlantic Canada often last. So good news today: osimertinib for EGFR+ NSCLC approved in 1st + 2nd line in Newfoundland/Labrador nlpdp.bell.ca/ (#29) @reneelester16 @LungCancer_Can #IDeserveToLive
There shouldn’t be a difference in the treatments that are reimbursed based on what province you live in.
From @CurrentOncology: "If the drug has been approved for funding in one province but not the other, one patient will receive it for free, while the other patient might have to remortgage their residence" bit.ly/CC-CO2019 #CancerCannotWait
