Beautiful, poignant, and powerful essay by about healing after loss. Thank you for writing this important piece, @TrudyWuMD
The Daughter and Physician in the Room: I wrote this during a moment of darkness, originally for my eyes only. I’m sharing it because I know I’m not alone in these experiences and perhaps, some readers will recognize a part of your own story in mine.

Pleased to share the primary endpoint analysis of the LUNAR trial out in @JCO_ASCO ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO…. The addition of 177Lu-PNT2002 to SBRT improved PFS and HT-FS over SBRT alone, without a significant increase in toxicity, in men with oligometastatic prostate cancer
Such a joy for Dr. Puja Venkat and me to work with and learn from other artists in our rad onc community. Looking forward to reading and writing more poetry together! @IJROBP @ASTRO_org @UCLAHealthJCCC

As personal statements get their final edits tonight, keep this in mind: ‘When your story is out there in the world, people will absorb it, be moved by it, see themselves in it. They’ll feel less alone. And a little more daring" @NEJM
