@POTUS Cancer patients don't die because they don't fight; they die due 2 unaffordable healthcare & lack of funding for research!Fund NCI!!

[CJ CorneliussenJames @CJMeta]

At Liberty U Trump implied beating cancer depends on how hard you fight. Insulting. Far more dependent on good healthcare & sheer luck

My pastor dad flew fr CA to Selma to march w/MLK. Angry church leaders asked who gave him permission. Dad answered: "God did." #MLKDay

#CancerMoonshot #metavivor final comments.

[CJ CorneliussenJames @CJMeta]

Amy: data is a great equalizer. All MDs/facilities should be connected.

[CJ CorneliussenJames @CJMeta]

#CancerMoonshot #metavivor What about pts w/out access to top facilities? Why can't we have a doctors w/our borders in US to reach pts? YES!

[CJ CorneliussenJames @CJMeta]

#CancerMoonshot #metavivor when tissue needed elsewhere , send patient in with box to make request. MDs uncomfortable denying PT request.

[CJ CorneliussenJames @CJMeta]

#CancerMoonshot #metavivor records must be easier to pass between organizations.

[CJ CorneliussenJames @CJMeta]

#CancerMoonshot #metavivor Yes! Talk about partnering w/patients. One at every table.

[CJ CorneliussenJames @CJMeta]

#CancerMoonshot #metavivor. Must increase trials but 50% of trials are in only 10 states. Many patients can't travel.Trials must be spread
