Living for the day we cure kidney cancer for my mom & in loving memory of my grandmother

[Leila Andrea @LeilaTCI]

I honor my mom who was diagnosed with stage IV kidney cancer 4 yrs ago. I love you mom! You’re the best person I know. Grateful for the relentless folks who push every day to give us more time together and the HOPE for cure.@cityofhope @montypal @CityofHope_GU #WorldCancerDay2023

[Leila Andrea @LeilaTCI]

Thank you for all you do to fight for funding and a cure! A BIG thank you to the advocates who volunteer their time every year. #AdvocacyDays

[KidneyCAN @kidneycan]

Every handshake, every story shared, and every office visited brings us one step closer to a future where #kidneycancer is a thing of the past.

Together, we're not just making a statement; we're making a difference.

[KidneyCAN @kidneycan]

Many of these patients participated in clinical trials and advocated tirelessly for research funding. Their courage and commitment have paved the path for future advancements in kidney cancer research.

140+ more will speak with congress on Monday and Tuesday in honor of these folks and the many more still living with kidney cancer

[KidneyCAN @kidneycan]

The power of unity! Today, we’re rallying with organizations from across the country to emphasize the importance of investing in the NIH.

Together, we can drive change, inspire hope, and save lives. Be part of the movement. 🌟

@kaydaustin So hard to believe. May you have peace. You will be missed @bodagetta

Targeting the microbiome with CBM588 in combination with ipi-nivo or cabo-nivo looks one of the most promising novel approaches in RCC ⁦@DrRanaMcKay⁩ #KCRS23

What a beautiful story about HOPE and the power of clinical trials - “This is what we wake up for: making patients’ lives better and finding hope by creating new treatment options.”

[City of Hope @cityofhope]

Ida Yaghoobians was diagnosed with terminal #colorectalcancer and given six months to live. Then she turned to City of Hope for a second opinion and found a clinical trial — and a new beginning. #PXWeek2023

Thank you @montypal for all you do for the kidney cancer community. Your kindness, compassion, energy and support gives us strength and HOPE. You are a blessing to my mom and our family 🙏🏼. #NationalDoctorsDay

[Leila Andrea @LeilaTCI]

Unimaginable and heartbreaking. Thank you for taking a stand @propublica

[ProPublica @propublica]

Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files.

“We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.”

The inside story 🧵

[Mark Lewis, MD, FASCO @marklewismd]

If you’re not outraged by the avarice overtaking American healthcare you’re not paying attention

[Mark Lewis, MD, FASCO @marklewismd]

“1.2 seconds per denial” is maddeningly heartless ‘efficiency’ in the management of patients who often have very little time to waste

The resulting delays in care while awaiting appeals & approvals are psychologically harrowing and, I believe, can cause physical harm 😞 😡

[Leila Andrea @LeilaTCI]

Thank you to @kidneycan and all the Advocates in DC fighting to #FundtheCure for kidney cancer

[KidneyCAN @kidneycan]

We are on #CapitolHill today, urging Congress to fund #kidneycancer research through @CDMRP #KCRP, @NIH, and @theNCI.

We're #acceleratingcures for #kidneycancer.
