📊 New @JPSMjournal study on early palliative care in metastatic #cancer:
– Only 8% of patients
– More likely in lung, less in breast
– Triggered by comorbidities
What’s missing? Not the will, but structured referral pathways.

“J’admets avoir une vision plutôt traditionaliste des âmes passionnées. Mais j’ai aussi la ferme conviction que nos cœurs sont faits pour être comblés et c’est dans cet esprit que je souhaite à chacun d’entre vous la plénitude d’aimer et d’être aimés en retour. Une question s’impose néanmoins: comment faire pour y parvenir ? Car après tout, on ne peut récolter que ce que l’on a semé.” - Son Excellence Madame Jeannette Kagame

The question I now carry with me is this: Do I truly know what “everything” means to the person sitting in front of me? Because their “everything” deserves to be at the very heart of the care we provide.
WHAT IS EVERYTHING?
Reflection...
As an early-career oncologist , one of the most rewarding aspects of my journey has been connecting with my patients and their families—understanding their needs, fears, and hopes—and finding ways, however small, to support them.
It is not just about another diagnosis, another chart, or another patient. It’s about someone’s mother, father, sister, brother, grandparent, or friend.
