March is #MultipleMyeloma Awareness Month.
I spoke w/@briantreadwell, leader of the Lethbridge Myeloma Support Group, on the importance of awareness and why it is so vital to check-in with your family physician. @MyelomaCanada

Recent studies show that Gen X and Millennials are twice as likely as previous generations to develop colorectal cancer. Despite this, most provincial and territorial screening programs don’t begin until age 50.

Far too many Canadians still face uneccessary delays and bariers to healthcare access. That’s why we’re intensifying our advocacy efforts to ensure everyone receives the care they need, when they need it. #lungcancer is the #1 cancer killer in 🇨🇦, but we can change that together!

Clear and understandable information is needed by patients throughout the diagnosis process, with the type and amount of information varying by individual and phase of the diagnosis journey.

Fourteen years ago, I got the news that I had cancer in both breasts. Then, after nine months, my treatment ended, and I went back to work as a family doctor, but things were different. I was fragile. I had a new body.

Cindy’s stage III colon cancer journey “was a blur.” When her stomach pains intensified, her husband brought her to the hospital. A CT scan showed a mass in her colon. After many complications, Cindy says, “things are looking good.” Don’t manage CRC alone: bit.ly/managing-crc

My mother was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer at the age of 30, both of which are strong indicators of a genetic mutation. My mother was quick to expose my sisters and me to the danger we may face in young adulthood following her diagnosis.

As members of the @CanCertainty Coalition, Ovarian Cancer Canada has written to Premier Doug Ford (@fordnation) and Minister of Health Sylvia Jones (@SylviaJonesMPP) to demand that the Ontario government keep their 2022 commitment to improve access to take-home cancer drugs.
CancerActionNow retweeted
So great to hear @fordnation is championing expedited and improved access to new publicly funded drugs at today's meeting of premiers (CoF). New cancer treatments aren't effective if they take too long to get to the people who need them. Thanks for listening and helping #BTTBS.
