Recovering from #SABCS25 (and working on a report back) and want to say thank you to all the researchers who presented and/or had any part in presented work. It's truly amazing the dedication and hard work by so many people. Appreciate you all!

[Amy Beumer, Ph.D. @amybeumer]

@JaniceTNBCmets Love the realism! Very cool

[Amy Beumer, Ph.D. @amybeumer]

If I remember correctly this happened last year as well….disappointing doesn’t quite cover it.

[Christine Hodgdon @christeeny513]

Patient advocate Samantha Horn opens with a powerful question: “what were you doing in your 20s?” For her, it was chemo.

ICYMI, this is a must-watch educational session on breast cancer in young women.

@JaniceTNBCmets giving the patient perspective on mTNBC- we don’t just want to live longer we want to live well. Dosing is one way to improve quality of life on toxic ADCs. #SABCS25

[Amy Beumer, Ph.D. @amybeumer]

Disappointed in the mass exodus as the patient advocate is coming in to discuss the patient perspective on mTNBC. #SABCS25

[Amy Beumer, Ph.D. @amybeumer]

Looking forward to this- join me!!

[Christine Hodgdon @christeeny513]

Quality of life matters! Join Poster author @amybeumer of the Patient-Centered Dosing Initiative (PCDI @TheRightDose) at poster walkthroughs next week to discuss findings from a large MBC patient survey that highlight the need for more individualized dosing strategies.

@DrSGraff @SABCSSanAntonio @OncoAlert Thank you!

[Nicole Casasanta, MD @ncasasanta]

📢 Amazing talks by @amybeumer & @maryam_lustberg on PROs in cancer trials
🤝partnership w/ patient advocates in design
🔹consider type & timing of PRO
🔹research needed in effective & tolerable dosing strategies
🔹real world data provides key insight

@esrajustesra @AMJohnston1315 @stage4kelly Happy to report back (took a lot of notes)- might need a couple days. The v. short is lots of work looking at resistance mechanisms in CDK 4/6i and ADCs and how they might be targeted or at least detected to predict resistance.

[Amy Beumer, Ph.D. @amybeumer]

@maryam_lustberg @OncoAlert Thank you for including us - as always you are a champion for patients and advocates <3

[Amy Beumer, Ph.D. @amybeumer]

@stage4kelly Get some rest and pace yourself :-) See you soon!

[Dr. Kelly Shanahan @stage4kelly]

Grateful to @christeeny513 for sharing her story - and how her concerns of a lump were initially dismissed with something far too many hear: “you’re too young for breast cancer”. No one is too young and everyone deserves to have their concerns addressed. #SABCS25 #bcsm

[Dr. Kelly Shanahan @stage4kelly]

This exactly what we need - guidance to mitigate the side effects from our treatments. Many of us start antihistamines a few days before beginning capi and never have to deal with the rash. And for those super sensitive to loperamide 🙋‍♀️off label crofelemer can be a game changer.

[Amy Beumer, Ph.D. @amybeumer]

@Delta couldn’t get me to #SABCS25 yesterday and today another delay meant (coming up on) ten hours of travel. So sad to be missing friends, science and great talks. Hope to see you tonight at one of my favorite events the @GRASPtweets reception!

[Amy Beumer, Ph.D. @amybeumer]

@stage4kelly So mad I’m missing all this and thank you so much for sharing! Can’t wait to go back and watch the video.

[Amy Beumer, Ph.D. @amybeumer]

@AMJohnston1315 @itsnot_pink @GRASPtweets Me too!

[Amy Beumer, Ph.D. @amybeumer]

I’ll be there and hope to see you there too!

[Julia Maués @itsnot_pink]

Attending #SABCS25? Join the @GRASPtweets
reception, one of the few opportunities for scientists, clinicians & patient advocates to connect.

It's where so many collaborations are born to bring the patient experience to research!
