Pi (my Patterpoo puppy) and I are taking part in Cancer Research UK's 60 mile dog walk in November challenge. www.cancerresearchuk.org/get-involved... Photos are from our weekend walk in Owlbeech wood. DM me for link to my Cancer Research UK Giving page to sponsor us. #CancerResearchUK
Pi the Patterpoo puppy at Middle Heath, Owlbeech woods. I was a near-perfect autumn day. Pi the Patterpoo puppy in Owlbeech woods. It got muddier as we got nearer the stream. Pi the Patterpoo puppy. By the end of the walk he was a very happy mud monster. Owlbeech woods on a near-perfect autumn day. A path covered with fallen autumn leaves leads through beech trees and evergreen bushes. Sunlight filtering through the trees with remaining leaves highlights luscious greens contrasting against the golden brown leaves on the ground.

Reposting for MetUpUK. Re: scarcity of metastatic #breastcancer (MBC) data. De novo is the only MBC data reported currently - a small % of all MBC patients. Until we can count all those living with MBC we can’t measure outcomes, e.g. which subtypes improve with particular drug interventions.
Reposting for https://metupuk.org.uk/. Graphic from MetUpUK.org.uk. Text reads: Over 10 years since MBC data collection was made mandatory, the majority of us are still not counted. #CountUsAliveNotDead De novo MBC estimated 3-10% of total MBC patients (no 'total data' means we don't know). Recurrent MBC likely to be ~90% of patients - data missing or incomplete

It's snowdrop time in Sussex. Every year I hope they've multiplied. Then every year I'm just glad the one's I planted survived. I'm still hoping for the multiplication!

TY. The gardens are sparse today, so wonderful to see Marianne North's painting of how lush the gardens used to look (~1877-1879). Incredible woman, travelling alone through rural places from southern to northern India, capturing the essence of the places she visited. See: artuk.org/discover/sto...
Taj Mahal, Agra, India, in modern times. View approximating to Marianne North's view. Marianne North's painting of the Taj Mahal in Agra. Somewhere around 1877-1879.

Thank you to everyone who helped feedback the patient voice to NICE. METUPUK

Ex is down! I went to deactivate my account on the old Twitter platfrom and it is down. I surmise that so many people are trying to deactivate their accounts, the platform can't cope with the exodus.
Twitter is down. Screen shot of Twitter showing lack of content.

Forwarding for METUPUK from X/Twitter

METUPUK is the ONLY metastatic breast cancer patient advocacy group in the UK. They are here to push and promote issues with secondary/metastatic breast cancer. Metastatic breast cancer is currently incurable.
Enhertu emergency. METUPUK is incredibly disappointed with the decision to NOT recommend Enhertu in England for HER2Low patients. We want to see NICE and the NHS back to the negotiating table with the drug companies but time is short. Please sign and share widely the petition urgently.
