One of the best parts of ASCO 2026 was reconnecting with mentors, teachers, friends, and colleagues from different stages of my journey.

Grateful for the conversations, encouragement, and reminders that none of us gets here alone.
Pay it forward. 🌱

Drugging the “undruggable.” Incredible to see a KRAS-targeted approach showing meaningful survival benefit in pancreatic cancer — a disease where progress has been painfully hard. This feels like a real step forward. #ASCO26 #PancreaticCancer #KRAS

#Ambition is a great motivator - until it leads to #burnout
🚗Engine problem (physical) or fuel (motivation)?
🏃🏽‍♀️ Chasing achievement - or meaning?
🏅Who defines my success?
⚡️What energizes me - can I do mostly that?

Today a patient reminded me what strength looks like — gratitude in the middle of a very hard day. Cancer patients humble me every day.

I hear about this. This is not uncommon and it bothers me:

Patient has cancer which is getting worse and causing pain

Waits days for doctors appointment

See the doctor. Scans ordered.

But now waits days for an appointment slot to get the scans

Scan is done and shows the cancer has worsened. Doctor prescribes new treatment

Waits for days as insurance denies new treatment. Peer to peer call needed. Finally, treatment is approved.

Waits for days again because chemotherapy appointments are backed up.

Finally, the patient receives the treatment.

But a month has passed.
The cancer has progressed more.

All of this with good private insurance.

Imagine without.

Oncology has advanced rapidly. Our medicines are very specialized. They require a lot of time, expertise, resources. Oncologists are stretched thin. It’s not the type of work that you can easily fill without compromising care. Many patients receive complex chemo and when there is a complication they end up without access to specialized care. We need to expand the oncology work force and limit the burnout that is causing good oncologists to leave patient care for other jobs or retire.

There is no question we have made remarkable progress against cancer. And several promising new treatments are on the horizon. Will we have the resources to administer them safely and to all those who need it?

Just watched A Complete Unknown—absolutely masterful! I’ve always been a huge fan of Dylan, and now this movie has quickly become one of my all-time favorites too!
