I want to give a huge thank you to two amazing women: @lyndaweatherby & @TPollastro . They worked their asses off, while dealing with #MBC and families, to put on a fantastic conference, the 4th annual @KomenPugetSound #NWMetsConf.
They are amazing advocates, and friends ❤️
Sorry,
didn’t see all of these at the time - will pass them on so the @KomenPugetSound folks see them.
They might be able to get speakers to answer and post answers (no promises tho!) #NWMetsConf
Tweet ? for @christeeny513 & Dr Elly Cohen in this thread and I’ll ask them! #NWMetsConf
Send me ? You have about bone mets and I’ll ask Dr Robinson at the #NWMetsConf - just respond to this thread so this old chemo-brained #MBC patient can find them!!
Back to the livestream with Dr Jennifer Specht - she explains immunotherapy so that this (trainer a long time ago) ob/gyn can understand it #NWMetsConf

Come back at 12:30 where I’ll be talking about how to talk to your doctor #NWMetsConf komenpugetsound.org/nwmbcc/2019-conference-l...
The @NCCN guidelines recommend neratinib for HER2+ brain mets, even tho might drug isn’t @FDAOncology approved for #MBC - but most oncs can prescribe and get drug for HER2+ brain mets and Insurance *should* cover based on NCCN guidelines (tell them VK said so!). #NWMetsConf

We all know having #MBC is a clusterf^(& and Dr Kevin Cheung is explaining how clusters of circulating tumor cells are more aggressive - who gets them and why is his area of research. #NWMetsConf livestream at...
We’re back live at the #NWMetsConf with Dr Kevin Cheung livestream here komenpugetsound.org/nwmbcc/2019-conference-l...
In an ideal world when the tumor changes and there is progression we would do a liquid biopsy - paraphrasing @jrgralow at the #NWMetsConf
Now that we’re finding more and more targetable mutations @jrgralow says it should be standard of care to have genomic profiling of metastatic cancer (see her full answer to questions here komenpugetsound.org/nwmbcc/2019-conference-l... ) #NWMetsConf
There are LOTS of requests for the slides you presented today at the #NWMetsConf @jrgralow - your explanations are so clear! Thank you (and can you share your slide deck?)
Breaking news (literally 3 days ago) - neratinib granted orphan drug status for HER2+ brain mets. @jrgralow #NWMetsConf

We have cannibinoid receptors in our body, and what binds to what receptor can determine effect. Too bad the fed government limits research (that’s my personal comment) #NWMetsConf
What registries should we patients participate in? @andreahttn tells us. #NWMetsConf @ArmyofWomen @count_me_in @mbcalliance’s #MBCConnect
