@arghavan_salles @arghavan_salles, would you be open to an interview on this topic for a story I'm working on for Medscape Oncology? If so, please DM me!

[Sharon Worcester @SW_MedReporter]

@HerbyZH This is all my fault, isn't it?

[Sharon Worcester @SW_MedReporter]

@AshleyGWinter Sending positive vibes and warm wishes for a beautiful experience on your terms 💜

@HerbyZH @silly702 I have no idea what's happening, but I say: GAMER MOMS UNITE!

[Sharon Worcester @SW_MedReporter]

This. It matters!

I'm going to choose my words here with care: When you vote, remember the anger you felt when you first understood SCOTUS was going to reverse Roe v. Wade.

Whatever it takes. Vote. Make sure the people around you vote. It matters.

[Sharon Worcester @SW_MedReporter]

@philipwx True! Thanks for the follow!

[Sharon Worcester @SW_MedReporter]

So, I'm doing 'a thing.' Pretty excited about this book project and would love #MedTwitter input on the doctor-as-patient experience. In a nutshell, what's the greatest and/or most surprising lesson learned from "the other side of the consultation desk?" https://t.co/r2wSlEsO0Q

[Sharon Worcester @SW_MedReporter]

@itselmab For now, I'm hoping for inspiration from off-the-record 'soundbites' of doctor-as-patient experiences that anyone would like to share!

[Sharon Worcester @SW_MedReporter]

@KayeSteinsapir @KayeSteinsapir would you be willing to help with a Medscape Oncology story on this topic? I sent details in a dm.

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Abortion, which is lifesaving in cases of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, etc, will now be illegal in many states & even criminal in some & women will die as a result of this decision. So don't tell me you're pro-life.

Oh, #ASCO22, I loved you, but you hurt me.

The COVID pandemic pushed telemedicine forward as a safe, and accessible approach to care delivery for cancer patients, but uptake of this modality was plagued by inequities, a retrospective study suggests. https://t.co/C0YJbLlLXQ #ASCO22

DETERMINATION trial: newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients treated with a triplet of drugs had longer PFS if they received an ASCT soon after drug therapy than if they simply had their stem cells collected for a possible future transplant. https://t.co/Z7Y9RadDxa #ASCO22

"When we succeed so dramatically in the largest subset of the most common cancer in women, it is truly a profound moment." #ASCO22

[Hope Rugo @hoperugo]

So moved by DB04, although I knew the data & treated pts. Our goal as oncologists is to improve outcome - and when we succeed so dramatically in the largest subset of the most common cancer in women, it is truly a profound moment. In memory of my mother, for all my patients 🎉
