On Thursday, April 15, 2021, I parked my car in the hospital parking lot & slowly shuffled my way through the doors of the ER. Gasping for breath w/every step, little did I know that walking into the hospital that day would save my life. 1/n

❌ You’re so brave.
❌ You’re so strong.
✅ You’re doing the best you can in an impossible situation, and that is admirable.

Anyone politicizing what my area and all western NC is going through needs to look in the mirror and question what they see. This isn't about politics

Amazing! 1,000 people have enrolled in the @23andMe Lung Cancer Genetics Study.

Why am I so excited about this Study?
For the first time, the entire lung cancer community is rallying behind a single, comprehensive research effort. Individually, we can make a difference, but together, we can DO more, BE more, and IMPACT more!

Here is the link to the study if you are interested: https://t.co/0FOY6cchYZ. Please share if you know someone who may be interested.

The zebra is the symbol of patients with rare diseases because doctors are taught to focus on common diagnoses with the adage: “when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras”

But, in aggregate, there are whole herds of 🦓 🦓 🦓 !

So my daughter drew this in our honor ❤️

You can do everything right and still get cancer.

Communication isn’t something doctors learn in school, and their degree doesn't depend on it, BUT…..
It is at the heart of patient-centered care!

Just as research and treatments advance, the way we talk about it needs to as well. Using patient friendly language to communicate science empowers patients & families to participate in SDM.

Thank you @JNJInnovMed for recognizing and addressing the communication gap!
