1/Please share this thread on behalf of my physician colleague, Eunice Stallman, who is facing the nightmare of her 9mo daughter, Zoey, being diagnosed with brain cancer several weeks ago. @BlueCrossIdaho has added to their anguish by obstructing access to vital treatment.

The same patient changes their mind right away if the assay comes back➕. #ctDNA🧬
Congratulations Dr. Stacey Cohen and colleagues for showing us in patients with early stage colon cancer, cfDNA increases post op and on chemo but does not affect the ability to detect ctDNA. ctDNA can be reliably detected at 2 weeks post op. @fredhutch@NateraOncology
New GALAXY data published by Drs Kotani and Yoshino in #Nature Medicine. (1) ctDNA is most prognostic factor for DFS (2) ACT in ctDNA (+) pts associated w/ improved DFS, but NOT in ctDNA (-) (3) ctDNA dynamics -> tx efficacy #ctDNA#CRC#Natera#Signatera

The NFL has to cancel this game. Please. Every player on that field is now a cosurvivor of a horrifying medical trauma. They need to be with loved ones, not playing football.
Y'all remember how we tore the goalposts down, hauled em out of Neyland and dumped em in the Tennessee River?
Yeah that was awesome.
Anywho, turns out that in order to play next week's game, we need goalposts on our field. Could y'all help us out? 🙏
