Yesterday we broke ground on Nanaimo’s new BC Cancer Centre — bringing life-saving care like chemo & radiation closer to home for Island families.

Huge thanks to the healthcare teams, advocates, community & trades.

#BCCancer won't refill Tony's prescription that runs out May 3. He gets bloodwork every week so they aren’t short of data. Next appt is now the 6th. When the stars align it takes 48 hrs to get the meds.

It will take me hours tomorrow to try to sort this out. I intend to bill the PHSA for my time.

Participating in the IDEAL (improving detection of early lung cancer) study for the BC Cancer Breathomics lab at VGH! Breath test & bronchoscopy which will help researchers! They are still seeking volunteers for these studies!

I am going to pick up my cancer meds from a BC Cancer centre in a couple of days. The pharmacy office is right next to the chemo waiting room. I'll count how many people are wearing masks. My guess is: fewer then half of patients, and almost no staff members. We shall see!

A person watches a shadow scene about a child's birthday party.

It was physically and emotionally exhausting for all of us. But seeing people respond to our stories and hearing how the experience impacted them was truly worthwhile. We left tired but hopeful about the future of AYA cancer care in BC.

#BCCancer #RRU

A cancer fundraiser being cancelled in part because it exposes participants to cancer-causing wildfire smoke, is a level of dystopia that's hard to process.

#bccancer #lcsm #oncsky

I would be very interested in longitudinal studies measuring lung cancer rates as well, given #BCCancer 's findings linking pm2.5 exposure and #lungcancer. And the links between #cancer and inflammation are still being explored as well #lcsm

Hopefully Canada will start making Amivantanab available according to these recommendations. #egfr #bccancer #lcsm

So cool! Would love to see something like this in British Columbia #BCCancer #lungcancer

New state-of-the-art #petct scanner in Kelowna ready to start scanning patients from the interior of BC next week. Exciting times for #cancer care. #functionalimaging #bccancer
