After my first semester of medical school I was treated at @MDAndersonNews for brain cancer. And now, four years later, I’m thrilled to announce I’ll be returning to MD Anderson as a resident physician training to become a Radiation Oncologist! #Match2024

FT can persist in all aspects of BC survivorship, esp w/ late toxicities. We discuss how and share three demonstrative cases: Abby, Brianna, and Catherine. 🤩MDA PGY-2 @ThatDamDoc and @fumikochino @UTMDAnderson #bcsm #financialtoxicity #radonc

"It’s not just, 'Okay, we’re done treating your cancer. Go back into the world. Good luck.'"

How #survivorship #survonc has improved & what we still need to change in order to provide optimal care for everyone after cancer.

We just finished an incredible meeting with Dr. Robert Timmerman as part of rasident fellows grand round at @MDAndersonNews

Two minutes of pure inspiration that will stay with me for a lifetime.

He said: “If you think your job is to contour, you can easily be replaced by AI. Your real role is to see patients, think about patients, and solve patients’ problems. We have not even begun to reach the edge of what
radiation can do.”
Thank you @BobTimmermanMD

@olsonplanner I have pre existing conditions and pay $86/month GSI with Guardian. I have graded premium, will switch to set rate when I finish residency. Currently $5k/month coverage with riders to increase when I finish. Shoutout to @TPP_MD / Mike Kittner for making it happen!

Come to Texas they said, it will be warm they said. 🥲 #houstonsnow

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Most of you will never have had

Measles
Mumps
Rubella
Tetanus
Diphtheria
Polio

And none of you will ever have had
Smallpox

Why?

Because vaccines work

#radiation BED 10 is effective for multiply relapsed #myeloma. Please do not be heroic in rushing to treat MM patient with radiation and dry their marrow; they need it for the long road ahead with their improved survival.@myESMO @ASH_hematology @MDAndersonNews @ASTRO_org

[Drew Moghanaki @DrewMoghanaki]

That’s one small step for RT, one giant leap for patients.

[Ethan Damron @ThatDamDoc]

@olsonplanner Yeah that makes sense, I’ll have to check. Although if PAYE is going to be scrapped should I still try and switch? Or just wait to see how things play out

[Kim Corbin @KimCorbinMD]

Congratulations to the Europa team for showing what we observe in #RadOnc clinic - a short course of RT is very well tolerated (QoL better than ET) and single modality may be appropriate for favorable risk patients. #SABC24

[Wendy Woodward MDPhD @IBCradiation]

Europa trial (70yo ER+ T1N0, mostly 5fx PBI RT vs Endocrine) @Icro_Meattini showing better HRQOL, fewer adverse events, and low recurrence at 2 years. Very encouraging. #radonc #SABC24 Paper out today in @TheLancet

Attendinghood means a lot of responsibility and finally a lot more money!

Here are 11 of my best money 💎 for attending physicians in no particular order👇🏻

A superb document by @OmranSaifi @BradfordHoppe on RT target nomenclature for #lymphoma trials. @ASTRO_org @ASH_hematology @LLSusa @myESMO @ILROGTeam @MDAndersonNews. https://t.co/ybHp8aSAma
