Flat In Canada 🍀🍀

Support & advocacy group for breast cancer patients in Canada who have chosen to go flat after mastectomy or explant.

@geraldinehewitt @MaxPemberton Adoption is not a replacement for grieving infertility. It is a trauma, a trauma that for some bizarre reason our culture has deemed acceptable despite the science. Please listen to adoptees and please do the research ap that you are fully informed.

This project tokenizes the flat voice & lacks meaningful inclusion of flat closure in the survey questions. How does medicine move forward with old attitudes & biases? Flat closure/explant are forms of reconstruction @patriciaclarkmd @DrJulieReiland @drchrysopoulo @drdavidsong

@alilyroberts @Oncoplasticsurg @tdcil @FrancesWright15 @rebecca_205 @TOBreastCO @rethinktweet @cancersociety These research questions are biased and based outdated ideas and science about flat closure. Publicly funded research needs to be inclusive of all patients requiring mastectomy. Flat closure is a form of recon. Patients are fighting to be flat @flatclosurenow @FlatFriends_UK

[Flat In Canada 🍀🍀 @FlatinCanada]

If you are a flat patient please fill out this survey & email the researchers & sponsors. Clearly no front line flat advocates (or none who are knowledgeable about the issues) were involved in this publicly funded project @flatclosurenow @not_shirt @FlatFriends_UK @FlattiesUnite

Flat patients everywhere. Does this survey feel unbiased to you?? Look at the original 48 questions. Do you see flat voices anywhere in them? Please write the head researcher and sponsors and let them know https://t.co/XqFq5DUhAq @flatclosurenow @FlatFriends_UK @FlattiesUnite

@DrToniZhong Flat patients across Canada are concerned about the bias & uninformed questions regarding flat closure in your survey of 48 research questions. Will you sit down and listen to us explain why we feel its discriminatory? We'd love to talk @ThanksCancerx2 @CCSResearch

Dr Mark Clemons: denosumab every 12 weeks is not inferior to every 4 weeks. If you’re still getting it every month ask your doc about switching to every 3 months #ASCO19

[#WomenInMedicine Chat @womeninmedchat]

Awesome input everybody! Now it's time for Q3:

Have you ever had a patient make an inappropriate romantic or sexual advance towards you?

If so, how did you handle that situation?

If not. how might you handle a situation like that?

🔉 ‘There’s something quite rubbish about saying to women your first priority is to appear in a way that you are not.’

Diana talks about life after her mastectomy & how she felt empowered by her choice not to have reconstruction. Continue listening here: https://t.co/posgTcm1JR

My last two diagnoses of breast cancer ended up in me leaving @BCCancer and going to oncologists who work out of Lion's Gate, outside confines of BC Cancer protocols. It's sad because I don't think it needs to be this way.

Good news: topical estrogen is safe and effective for many women with menopause symptoms https://t.co/Beuv80Flmk

Interesting. "This study examined the role of depression in mediating the effects of cancer treatment on cognitive function in breast cancer survivors & explored the role of physical activity in moderating these effects."
