Cancer in young people can be debilitating with long term effects that can cause significant health problems throughout their lives. Young survivors need long term support, regular screening for known late effects, & emotional support. #AYAware #AYACancer #AYACSM #JoinTheHerd

[Samantha Watson @samma411]

Why do we need AYA Cancer Awareness Week? Because this statistic used to be 70,000. More and more young adults are being diagnosed and yet survival rates, research dollars, and dedicated support services are lagging far behind other age groups. #AYAware #ayacsm

@PearlJam @joshe731 Ah, the '95 Soldier Field show. Bad Religion opened. One of the highlights of my teenage years. Well, to be honest, it was a once in a lifetime show.

Terrific news: I just learned our proposal has been accepted for “The Edward P Evans Center for #MDS at @DanaFarber”, to be led by me & Ben Ebert. Represents a substantial commitment by #EPEFoundation to improve understanding of #MDS and patient outcomes. @MDSFoundation @aamdsif

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common type of non- Hodgkin lymphoma. But each patient experience is different; from the type of symptoms to how it impacts various aspects of life. We want to hear about it. Take part in a phone interview study.

@TheFlenser Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps). Low is a very close second.

Joe Maddon’s annual Respect Bald charity event taking place today. Players get their hair cut to benefit pediatric cancer research. Players have contributed a lot of money to this cause over the years.

Happy birthday to you! Your books live through and through. No one else has made more readers than you ❤️ - Our love filled, yet admittedly mediocre, attempt at Dr. Seuss (it’s really hard - give it a try! In fact, he would probably love it if you do today!)
