Medicaid Warriors! Top tip from #NBCCSummit on responding to a Congressional reps who says: “I’ll not touch Medicaid”
“Show me your math: how will you do it w/out decreasing enrollment, decreasing coverage, or decreasing reimbursement to Drs? How do YOU make the numbers work?” Then wait.

#NBCCSummit Amazing talk by Dr. Ian Tannock on asking critical questions about clinical trials. What jumps to me is the increase in using progression-free survival as a clinical outcome instead of overall survival. Tannock argues that PFS is very vulnerable to bias. Why? Follow🧵1/2)

AMAZING first day at #NBCCSummit. Deep dive on breast cancer mortality rates across 2 sessions drive home where research is heading—looking BOTH at genetic/biological factors as well as place-based factors to more effectively treat AND hopefully prevent BC. Thank you @nbccstopbc.bsky.social

Here's a conundrum--her research uses public genetic data. AND 80% of the global pop. is represented in only 3% of public data.🤯
The BIG takeaway from her talk is "who you are and where you are matters" when it comes to surviving cancer AND equity in research is essential to better outcomes.

@blackforager.bsky.social just finished a BRILLIANT talk that wove together racism, colonialism, the death of inherited knowledge re: the natural world, landscape snacks, and the inherent destructiveness of the #MAHA agenda in 90 min. AMAZING! Also, her #OOTD with the crop hoodie? 👌🏻

Yup! New treatment plan started yesterday. Enhertu every 21 days—doable. Here’s me hooked up for the poisoning. I have found that strengthening my entire core in addition to arms and legs has been a big help with pain bcz it supports those bones. Small class Pilates with an attentive instructor is 👌🏻

I am a Michigander and am reliant on SSDI since my metastatic breast cancer forced me to stop working at the age of 51. Please keep fighting hard to preserve Social Security payments, as well as Medicaid & Medicare; it is life-preserving support.
