In my 50s, married to a wonderful husband, living in Toronto, Canada with incurable brain cancer. Pharma, Pun and Food geek. Brain Cancer Canada ambassador.
Today is Brain Cancer Awareness Day. Every day, 9 Canadians are told they have brain cancer. We need dedicated research to give doctors better tools to save lives. I stand with Brain Cancer Canada to drive research, to give more time, hope, & one day, the promise of a cure.

I was recently interviewed by Angelica Bottaro at Healthing.ca, who created this piece which shares my #braincancer story more widely. I'm mindful that this is published on #WorldBrainDay2025 , and glad to have had the chance to share with others! #BTSM

Thanks, @theabta.bsky.social and the incomparable @thelizarmy.bsky.social for today's engaging webinar on participating in research and the clear message that we can all participate! Liz, I love your reminder that we all have the capacity to be curious and become researchers as we explore! #BTSM

I'll catch up on tonight's chat a little later, when I'm back at my computer and better able to take in the conversations, so don't be surprised if I chime in with a reply or more thoughts tomorrow or later in the week! #btsm

A4. I'm energized by people I meet along the way. Living with #braincancer is a really tough way to meet the most amazing people, but it's worth it! I'm only about a year into my proper advocacy path but I keep learning and growing along the way; my advice is to keep at it and grow as we go #BTSM

A3. We don't have a direct Canadian equivalent of @braintumor.org 's Head To The Hill but I think it's a great approach! There's much we can learn from different organizations where we grow ideas to fit our local needs while collaborating and sharing internationally. #BTSM

A2 I see a gap in fundamental #braintumor and #braincancer research funding, where early research can find game-changing discoveries that will better tomorrow's outcomes. By advocating for funding, both public / government, and private, we can make a lasting impact for the future! #BTSM

Hi, everyone! I'm Stuart, also joining by the orange bubble in the @btsmchat.bsky.social account, and introduced there. I'm here to join in the conversation, though I've scheduled my posts with @buffer.com while away from my computer, so I might not reply to any other comments for a while! #BTSM

Brain Cancer Canada launched something new this week - their redesigned web site. I may be biased, but I think it's spectacular. It's a great landing spot and resource for anyone with a connection to Brain Cancer. #BTSM #braincancer #braintumor #oncsky

My second #WorldCancerDay TikTok talks about getting access to new cancer drugs after a clinical trial, about getting financial support for new approved drugs, and how donating to fund cancer research can build a brighter future. #BTSM #BrainCancer That TikTok is at www.tiktok.com/@oligo_stu/v...
