On the heels of #ASCO20 and learning about oncology #research, I want mention who will be funding new #MetastaricBreastCancer research this year in the middle of a pandemic : @metavivor. Many other big organizations have put new research on hold. Not our tiny volunteer led org.
Going to have to wait for the recorded session with Dr @hoperugo because she talks faster than I can tweet 😂 #ASCO20
Dr @hoperugo reviews PARSIFAL where it doesn’t seem to matter what endocrine partner is chosen to accompany CDK 4/6 inhibitor in ER+ #MBC #ASCO20
Enjoying a homegrown (not by me,
tomatoes courtesy of a friend with #MBC) tomato sandwich while listening to my incredible onc Dr. @hoperugo talk about combinations to enhance efficacy of hormonal therapy. #ASCO20
Watching today’s on demand talk by @itsnot_pink and @MyStyleMatters2 made me so proud to know these powerhouse women 🥰 and so sad that we’ll likely not gather in person for a long time 😭 . #ASCO20
Thank you @itsnot_pink for the shoutout during your excellent talk on the patient perspective on #clinicaltrials. Industry/investigators PLEASE look beyond the cancer olympians with eligibility criteria! #ASCO20
Another advantage to #virtual #ASCO20 education program (👏🏻to chair Dr @tmprowell) is eating my own organic grain bowl instead of overpriced, over processed conventional hall food!
There’s something to be said for being able to watch the #ASCO20 round table with @BurrisSkip @CliffordHudis @NCIDirector from one’s back deck at the civilized hour of 8:30, with a cup of homemade chai. But it doesn’t make up for the missed hugs and connections. @tmprowell #bcsm
besides missing the IRL connections, I didn't get in the thousands of daily steps, so Gryffindor the dog and I are off for a walk. Thanks #ASCO20 and "see" you at the educational program in August!
(PS Dr @tmprowell you better catch up on your rest before then!)
thank you @ASCO @ASCOPres @MLJohnsonMD2 and everyone involved in #ASCO20. While I missed the IRL hugs, laughs, and wine, the content & delivery were incredible and it's a #SilverLining to be able to easily watch missed sessions/info (in sweats!) in this #VirtualConference format.
While a #NurseNavigator based intervention led to better outcomes, cost was prohibitive. How about using trained peer navigators? #ASCO20 @oncoalert
grateful that with this #VirtualConference format I don't have to choose between care delivery & regulatory policy highlights or developmental therapeutics highlights, just which to watch in real time and which later. #ASCO20 @OncoAlert
Wish I had planned better and ordered a Wi-Fi booster before #ASCO20 started so I could have sat here to learn! But it’s back to the kitchen table in 10 min for the next virtual session. #VitaminDBreak @OncoAlert
Is #oligometastic breast cancer a different beast? Does surgery for the 1° tumor improve OS? What about removal/ablation of the mets? Ongoing trials may answer these important questions. #ASCO20 #bcsm @oncoalert
Conclusions from E2108: more is not better, although I think, as always, the desire of the properly informed PWC should be honored- some of those 1° tumors cause pain, both physical & mental. #ASCO20 #bcsm @OncoAlert
E2108 showed no improvement in OS with the use of surgical removal of breast primary. #ASCO20 #bcsm @OncoAlert
Up now Dr Seema Khan presenting E2108 on surgical removal of 1° tumor after initial systemic tx in #denovo #MBC. Enrollment was an issue. #ASCO20 #bcsm #OncoAlert
Advantage of virtual #ASCO20: I can eat this instead of overpriced undernourishing convention center food #organic #kale #spinach #siracha
Take homes from the incredible @marklewismd. People with cancer and our oncologists are partners. Tissue agnostic driver mutations will blur the historical lines of cancer types. We are #StrongerTogether #ASCO20 @OncoAlert
Here’s what happens when a person with cancer encounters a #paywall #ASCO20 #bcsm #lcsm #btsm #gyncsm #melsm #crcsm @OncoAlert
yes, @marklewismd, having #metastatic cancer is definitely like being trapped in a labyrinth with the minotaur. With #research we can be like Theseus and escape, not death, but hopelessness. #ASCO20 @oncoalert
listening to @VivekSubbiah's on RET fusion tumors, as he talks about pralsetinib in #cholangiocarcinoma I think of #advocates @melinda_bachini @crainescrew, and ? if it could have helped @CultPerfectMoms who died of #metastatic neuroendocrine BC. #ASCO20 #bcsm @oncoalert
It is incredible what the #CCC19 team led by @hemoncwarner has accomplished in less than 3 months. Soon there will be info geared towards people with cancer, because this team understands the importance of including #advocates. #COVID19 #CovidnCancer #ASCO20 @OncoAlert
HCQ + azithro in people with cancer who contract #COVID19 led to an INCREASED risk of death, although either drug taken alone did not #ASCO20 #CCC19
too cool - on a watch party with members of the #CCC19 team watching @hemoncwarner talk about CCC19!! #ASCO20 @oncoalert
It’s not just that if a person with cancer gets #COVID19 s/he has a 13% chance of dying, double that of the general population, it’s the downstream impacts #ASCO20 @OncoAlert
ready for cancer care in the time of covid with work of the @COVID19nCCC
starting in 3,2,1....
#ASCO20 #COVID19
stepping away from all the devices until the cancer in the time of covid session - just realized it's 12:53 Pacific and I haven't eaten a thing yet. Maybe #VirtualConference is the key to intermittent fasting! #ASCO20 @OncoAlert
