It's been an exciting week around here - let's end it on a high note with this week's #ACSFriday5!

Here are five new papers from our ACS researchers that we think are worthy of a little extra attention this week:

"What is happening right now is ... the wholesale substitution of consumer enthusiasm 4 clinical evidence.

It's a tragedy that so many #oncsky and #cansky folks do not know about using gel/ice packs while getting your infusion helps prevent some of the nerve damage / neuropathy. My wife was 4-5 months in before she found out and that's using Scharr in VA and Johns Hopkins. They just fail to mention it

Gotta do what you can. This new chemo (Gem/Tax) is beating her down. #oncsky #cansky

Hey #Cansky your mental health matters, don’t forget that.

New laws and policy changes are shaping access to care. From extended telehealth flexibilities to new protections around medical debt and expanded coverage for cancer screening and diagnostic tests, there is a lot to know. Learn more: TriageCancer.org/Blog #CanSky

Our #cancer support group is a diverse collection of women, and when we get together conversations are hilariously funny, honest, and dark in equal measures. Meeting with #CancerComrades is a tonic for this crap situation.

It’s important we realize stage 4 isn’t a death sentence anymore. Yes, for some it’s more aggressive, for some meds fail.

For others their diseases is treated more chronically. This is thanks to advances in medicine and understanding of treatment approaches from a multidisciplinary team. #Cansky

#Cansky I ask this often.

How are you? Are we struggling? Doing okay? Anxious? What’s going on?

Remember how I was knitting during my last #chemo infusion, for an #artproject?

Can you help me today?

I haven't met my goal for days - so now I need to raise about $102 a day for the next 4 days to meet my short term goal.

My next Signatera test is 4/1 (not covered by insurance). Full body PET will follow.
