Couple of additions to your frustrations from another non-US patient:
1. All trials should list locations in real world terms, not manufacturer secret language such as "site 21". We patients need to see which major cancer centres (and investigators) are participate. (1/2)

It’s crazy you can just be going through a cancer diagnosis and then head into to drop your kid off for daycare and head into work. Like what. #Cansky
Ever wondered if you could go that ‘extra mile’? Get on and grab life by the knackers? My heroic alter ego says ‘of course’ but on the chemo-hump-days my body just goes bleurgh, “you must be kidding” it protests! Then my mind and my pack push me, entice me with cream cake magic, even crack the best joke ever, and I grab on to life and get going, just one cycle at a time.
Just about to get over the #chemo hump for this cycle and I’ve finished my #feltart.
No title as yet but I’ve written a #poem to go with it. It’s in the ALT text.
Small acts of art on tough days make life feel okay, don’t you agree?!

I would be flying to the line for a spot in one of the clinical trials.
If this holds as a viable treatment through CTs it will be groundbreaking and life-changing for millions of people.

"In March, Park & colleagues reportd results of the 1st KRAS degrader 2B tested in humans. The drug, called setidegrasib & made by Astellas Pharma in Tokyo, shrank tumours in more than 1/3 of participants w/a form of #lungcancer & nearly 1/4 of those w/a form of #pancreaticcancer." #CanSky #FuckYeah

Patients deserve to feel recognized when they participate in research.
Too often in the past, research has been done TO patients rather than done WITH them.

Good morning #Cansky
Reminder there needs to be more resources for young adult survivors navigating their professional development in the work force.
When I politely disagreed with my Onc (she said my symptoms were not chemo related, when in fact they were) she went ballistic. There was no option for me to get a 2nd opinion. I was not able to travel to another hospital. It made treatment difficult.

Researchers led by the Ludwig Institute’s Chi Van Dang & Maimon Hubbi have discovered how salient aspects of pancreatic tumor biology converge to counter ferroptosis—a type of cell death that can be exploited for therapy—suggesting new approaches to treat pancreatic cancer. bit.ly/4bYlabL

Happy Tuesday #Cansky. Reminder- it’s okay to get a second or third opinion. Any Dr. worth their merit would encourage it.
Message from Mand:

Good afternoon #Cansky
It’s AYA Cancer Awareness Week. Adolescence and young adults are faced with unique challenges after a cancer diagnosis.
Whether it’s financial toxicity, delaying professional development in careers, fertility, or other things.
It’s a lot and it’s not talked about enough.
New: "The intake of red meat was positively associated with the incidence of PCa, whilst the intake of tomatoes, soya and coffee consumption were associated with reduced PCa incidence in our study population." #prostatecancer #cansky #oncology #oncsky #plantbased

Nice. Is it unsupported because it showed mixed results? Lack of cost-effectiveness? Or is it just not supported by any evidence?
#cansky
Awareness matters – but so does what comes after.
For many testicular cancer patients, #survivorship should include:
✔️Emotional support
✔️Fertility planning
✔️Hearing health monitoring
Let’s keep the conversation going. What does survivorship mean to you? #testicularcancer
