Exercise programmes for Metastaic Breast Cancer patients do not only improve results but ARE ALSO COST EFFECTIVE!!!👏👏💵💵. Don’t you believe it?: POSTER BOARD 316 now at #ASCO24. @PREFERABLE_MBC @annemariamay @biogipuzkoa @ALACIsabel

[Nicole L. Stout DPT, FAPTA @NicoleStoutPT]

Agree 110%
It sounds really good to say "survivorship starts at diagnosis" BUT
The field of oncology absolutely does not function in this manner.
The culture in our field does not reflect this as the prevailing paradigm.
Often heard at conferences or read in papers..."once the patient moves to survivorship..." 🤦‍♀️
Survivorship needs to be a system of care that walks alongside the patient throughout the entirety of their treatment and beyond.
Were this paradigm to change, and ALL patients with cancer receive ongoing assessment of needs and supportive care throughout treatment, I believe it would go a long way to being more inclusive of those with advanced disease.
SURVIVORSHIP STARTS AT DIAGNOSIS

So good to see that Ontario is lowering the age for regular breast cancer screening from 50 to 40. We won’t need a doctor to get a mammogram as we’ll be able to self-refer.

“Today in Ontario, women in their 40s can get a mammogram if they have a doctor willing to write a referral. When the policy changes in a year, women in that age bracket will be able to refer themselves, regardless of whether they have a co-operating doctor or a doctor at all.”

The plan will take effect in the fall of 2024, and it is expected to result in an additional 130,000 women getting mammograms every year.

Kudos to all the advocates and researchers who made this happen!

Urgent Appeal🚨

PRCS faces an imminent threat. The IOF demands the evacuation of Al-Quds Hospital, a sanctuary for over 400 patients and around 12,000 displaced civilians.

We call the international community to act urgently, averting another catastrophe like Al-Ahli Hospital

We were out moose hunting with nohtawiy (my father) & nitikwatim (my 9 year old nephew)& out of no where he asks my dad “mosom (grandfather), when you were in residential school, how did you escape?”
Nohtawiy thought about it & said “I couldn’t.” That was a sad, powerful moment.
