I just learned that @anguspratt.bsky.social has passed. Canada has lost a remarkable & tireless cancer #research advocate. His @cancersociety.bsky.social video is so powerful. #lungcancer #redtoque #lcsm #malebreastcancer youtu.be/GtSQi7gjaTg?...
What says leaving Vancouver more than a #redtoque, a @TheWRP4LC and a Thunderbird.
It seems a little unreal to be on my way to #AACR25 with #AACRSSP.
But here I am.
And look for the #redtoque so we get a selfie.
I’m so excited to share some fantastic news! I received the King Charles III Coronation Medal from @cancersociety.bsky.social for my volunteer service in the community! This is such a meaningful honor, and I couldn’t be more thrilled! What a wonderful recognition! #redtoque
And not nearly the difficulty I expected. Special checkin required turned out not to be nearly the big deal. But #united app isn't great.
#TTLC25 Huntington Beach here comes the #redtoque with my @TheWRP4LC .
A wonderful weekend draws to a close. Cancerconnection.ca is a special community and to spend time with other mentors has recharged me. #redtoque
And as always lots of questions about the @TheWRP4LC . Just like my #lungcancer it never leaves me
"Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us. Not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are." Remon

💙 To everyone fighting, surviving, and supporting loved ones with lung cancer, we stand with you this #LungCancerAwarenessMonth. Let's keep raising awareness together. #redtoque
Starting a meeting with lived experience is growing more common. #lungsummitcanada was no exception.
The importance of biomarker testing, early diagnosis, equitable drug access, and research were emphasized by each one. #redtoque
Now the work begins. #lungsummitcanada. These are our identified priorities. The plan to implement these priorities. #redtoque
#lungsummitcanada coming to a close. Dr Christian Finley summarized the work of the day. The path forward is clear.
Addressing funding inequity. So many possibilities.
Thank you #redtoque
Planning the #redtoque introduction for the patient panel at the #LungCancerSummit. John Lewis or MLK? Or both?
Look out Toronto. The #redtoque and the @TheWRP4LC are headed to the Lung Cancer National Action Plan Summit.
I'm excited to see this event coming together. Change the trajectory of #lungcancer in Canada.
nnovative treatments are giving patients new hope, but we need more research funding to save more lives. 💙 #LungCancerAwarenessMonth #redtoque
Small lifestyle changes can lower your lung cancer risk: eat well, stay active, avoid pollutants, and don’t smoke. #LungCancerAwareness #redtoque
This #LungCancerAwarenessMonth, let’s push for equal access to cancer care. Every person deserves a fighting chance. 💪 #HealthEquity #redtoque
Genetic factors play a role in lung cancer too—not just smoking. Make sure to get checked if you have a family history. #LungCancerAwarenessMonth
#redtoque
The rewarding end of a another #bccancersummit. The hope of #lungcancer patients being treated in BC.
#redtoque
Sorry I look so serious but it was a long day. #bccancer2024 and the White Ribbon and the #redtoque are making themselves visible.
Fascinating session on predictive AI and how to implement it.
Lung cancer kills more people each year than breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined. Know the risk factors, and take action. #LungCancerAwareness #redtoque
"Living with lung cancer is like a rollercoaster, but I’m grateful for every day." Share your story with us. 💙 #LungCancerAwarenessMonth #redtoque
#lungcancer research receives less funding than many other cancers. Advocacy can change that. Help us raise funds and awareness. #LungCancerAwareness #redtoque
In Canada 3% of research funding vs 25% for breast cancer. And yes I'm a breastie as well.
32,100 Canadians (over 234,000 Americans) will be diagnosed with lung cancer this year - 2024. Let's support research and advocate for better treatments. #LungCancerAwarenessMonth #redtoque
