Mama. Metastatic Cervical Cancer Survivor. Patient Advocate.

[Aisha McClellan @AishaMcClellan_]

9 years ago, I came to DC less than a week after going into remission from stage IV cancer. I remember hoping I’d live long enough to make a difference.

This week, I came back to advocate for cancer research & survivorship care.

life is really something. 💙

Not officially a scientist (yet?), but cancer made sure I did my research. Call it a PhD in lived experience. So proud to share my poster and be part of the AACR Scientist↔Survivor Program.

Superpower: Focus on the things you can control, and let go of the rest.

We can't control how others act
↳But we can control how we respond

We can't control the past
↳But we can control how we learn from it

We can't control the future
↳But we can control our actions today

Superb article on the secret sauce of team science, in @NatureBiotech:

It takes two to think

‘Morale thrives on the encouragement we get from the feedback of someone who understands our work & it’s motivations’

Great read

It starts as a “simple infection” until YEARS later it becomes:

Long HIV…AIDS
Long HPV…Cervical Cancer
Long EBV…Multiple Sclerosis
Long HSV…Alzheimer’s
Long HCV…Liver Cancer

CURRENTLY 1 in 13 Americans already have #LongCOVID.

We don’t know how this story ends

Dr Wendy Brewster has passed away from pancreatic cancer. I’m so shocked and sad. She was a great comfort when I was helping my mom manage the devastation of her cervical cancer diagnosis. Smart, funny, elegant and highly respected, she will be deeply missed. @unc @UNC_Lineberger
