@hepatomed @mostafaprivate i'm glad if they helped! #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

I've enjoyed losing my twitter virginity! #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@adartom the possibility that aspirin will work in established CRC both sporadic and familial is really exciting. I'd take it! #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@nataliewood06 yes but also because i put the idea to astra rather than the other way round #weekchat

[United European Gastroenterology @my_ueg]

We are close to the end, any final questions for lifetime achievement awardee @chrishawkey ? #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@mostafaprivate there are many ways to start, case rpts, audit, simple studies, the main thing is try to put some originality in #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@nataliewood06 pioneering the approach to NSAID protection that is now widely used. #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@mostafaprivate If you make your job your hobby, it's more balanced. But don't try to do everything and be busy. Be good instead! #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@mostafaprivate always commit yourself to a pretest diagnosis. That way you get feedback and learn. Don't go straight to tests. #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@mostafaprivate for diagnosis you should be a general physician but for management you should aim to be the best subscpecialist #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@mostafaprivate we have new things all the time, like e.g. ozanimod, mongerson ustekinumab and dims150 #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@mostafaprivate of course, but you don't find out without trying! #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@mostafaprivate find out what you are bad at and abondon it! So you can concentrate on your strenghts. Dont try to do everything #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@mcdona02 interessting that haemopoetic and fat derived stem cells may contribute to distant malignancy but too difficult for RX #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@Bjorn_Rembacken allorgenic is logical but too toxic. Autolagus springs clean the immune system. #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@Eukaryotes the dilemma is that it's toxic and we can't identify in advance, who will benefit, so we restrict it to refractory pts #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@nataliewood06 the most solid progress is with haemopoetic stem cells. I'm not convinced about mesenchymal stem cells. #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@mostafaprivate i like doing very small and very large trials. Currently have one recruting 33000 patients #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@mostafaprivate I like the patient interaction but i am a hamfisted endoscopist. So i became an academic! #weekchat

[Chris Hawkey @chrishawkey]

@Eukaryotes Effective in a third.We hope this persists! #weekchat
