Some people don’t realize what a Pride anthem Janet’s “Together Again” is.

The song was inspired by her friend who died of AIDS.

The family and friends that leave us, smh, it's hard getting older.
But my God the memories & bonds we create. all the while "reachin' for the sky".
It makes it worth it
Perhaps a reunion is destined above.
I like to believe that.
I really do.

A historic moment at #ASCO26: more than 9,000 oncologists rose for three standing ovations as Brian Wolpin, MD, MPH, Director of the Hale Family Center for Pancreatic Cancer Research, presented promising new Phase 3 results for an investigational treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer.

In the trial, daraxonrasib helped patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer live significantly longer than those who received chemotherapy.

While more work remains, these findings offer something powerful: hope for patients and families facing one of the most challenging cancers.

As Dr. Wolpin said, “It is exciting to see that we may soon be able to help patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer in ways we haven’t been able to before, improving both survival and quality of life.”

Congratulations to the researchers and patients who made this important progress possible. 👏👏👏

Bought her a $2.1M fuckpad with taxpayer-tainted cash.

He prays in church, then preys on families.

This is your "pro-family" Texas AG.

The biggest cancer results from ASCO this week, ranked by how much they change a patient’s odds.

1. Colon cancer (BRAF-mutant): the combination doubled survival. Median 30.3 months vs 15.1 on the old standard. BREAKWATER. New standard of care.

2. Lung cancer (ALK+): five years out, 60% of patients on lorlatinib still hadn’t progressed. On the old drug, 8%. CROWN.

3. Lung cancer (EGFR+): amivantamab plus lazertinib cut the risk of death 25% vs the previous best pill. MARIPOSA.

4. Breast cancer (PIK3CA-mutant): gedatolisib hit its primary survival mark, beating the current targeted drug. VIKTORIA-1. Full numbers drop this week.

5. Prostate cancer (high-risk): apalutamide before surgery, the plenary headline. First efficacy readout lands this week.

6. Breast cancer (ER+): SERENA-6, the blood-test-guided drug switch, reports next.

Five years ago, half of these patients had almost nothing.
