Dara paper out in @nejm ahead of today's plenary #ASCO26
Many congratulations to @EileenMOReilly and colleagues for groundbreaking results and offering patients a new class of drug.
This is just the beginning - neoadjuvant, adjuvant, 1L strategies will all need to be revised!
One moment from our Mississippi Blood Clot Awareness Bus Tour has stayed close to our hearts.
Greenville Mayor Errick Simmons officially proclaimed May 24 as Blood Clot Awareness Day — and 3-time survivor Remelda Lewis said it best: "Blood clots can be prevented. Thank God for this organization coming to the Delta."
Everywhere we went, people told us they had never received this kind of education before. Survivors shared stories. Leaders showed up. Communities connected.
Awareness saves lives. Mississippi — we heard you. We'll be back. ❤️

💙 Monica wore jersey #16. Her mom asks for just 16 seconds of your time.
🩸 Monica was an athlete, a math teacher, and a new mother who died 12 days postpartum from a PE. Calf tightness. General pain. No one told her these were warning signs.
⚠️ Monica's Plea: if you're postpartum and have leg pain, swelling, or shortness of breath — call your doctor. Don't wait for your six-week appointment.

🎉 IT'S OFFICIAL: The Blake Burgess Blood Clot Prevention Act is now law in Oklahoma!
This legislation will help protect Oklahomans through stronger, standardized blood clot prevention efforts in hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers — including VTE prevention protocols, staff education and training, and a statewide blood clot registry designed to improve care and save lives.
Named in memory of Blake Burgess, a vibrant 21-year-old whose like was tragically cut short by a pulmonary embolism. His legacy will save lives. 💙
Enormous gratitude to the Burgess family, Gov. Stitt, Rep. Stinson & Sen. Hines for making this possible.

May is Women’s Health Month — and this story is one every woman needs to hear.
Sara Wassenaar, a Michigan mother and former NBCA board chair, lost her 23-year-old daughter Anna to a pulmonary embolism. Healthy. Active. Training for a half marathon. Her symptoms were explained away until it was too late.
For the first time ever, a sitting member of Congress joins our podcast. Rep. Hillary Scholten (MI-03) joins a discussion with NBCA volunteer president @lesllake connecting Anna’s story to the fight for greater blood clot awareness, women’s health advocacy, and federal action.
Know the signs. They can save your life.

⚠️ "I cannot see why a healthy 33-year-old woman would currently be undergoing thrombosis. I'd go home and monitor."
That's what Heather was told in the ER — after she arrived with a grey foot, a stiff leg, and no detectable pulse.
🩸 Heather had developed a blood clot in her popliteal artery following a routine varicose vein surgery. Her limb was at risk of amputation and yet, she was nearly sent home. Instead, she advocated for herself and waited for the vascular surgeon. That choice saved her leg and her life.
Women’s symptoms are too often minimized or dismissed. Help us change that:

Thank you Dr. Cromwell from @WeillCornell for sharing your expertise on the @StopTheClot#PEPtalk this week. When 500 people register for an event you know they are not getting enough clinical support. #PEPtalk helps bridge that gap! 👇👇👇
In this clip, hematologist Dr. Caroline Cromwell discusses postpartum VTE risk, symptom recognition, and why warning signs are still too often attributed to “normal” postpartum recovery.
The full discussion also explores women’s clot risk across pregnancy, IVF, hormones, diagnosis delays, and survivorship.

💐 Did you buy her flowers yet?
They’ll brighten her day.
But they won’t protect her from a blood clot. 🩸
Pregnancy increases a woman’s blood clot risk 5X — and risk can continue with postpartum recovery, HRT, surgery, cancer, travel, and age.
Flowers fade. Awareness saves lives. 💗
👉 Honor her with more than flowers:

“If I could tell my mom one thing, it would be: that I wish I knew then what I know now so I could have warned her about the perfect storm of risk factors she had brewing.” — Todd Robertson
Todd lost his mom to a pulmonary embolism at 43 — then later became a blood clot survivor himself.
This Mother’s Day, honor the women you love by helping more people learn the signs & risks of blood clots. ❤️

🩸 Pregnancy raises blood clot risk by 5x — and that risk stays elevated for 3 months postpartum. Most clots are preventable. Know the signs. Talk to your provider. Speak up if something feels off.
Share with someone who needs this. 💙
