Lori Carey lived long on Enhertu. She was a wealth of knowledge about getting thru its rough start and the photographer of some of the most beautiful landscapes I’ve seen. I hope she got to say goodbye to those she loved and that Rebel was by her side too💔 #cansky #cancer #Stage4NeedsMore

Can men get breast cancer? 10 things to know

Breast cancer is often thought of as a woman’s disease. But men can get breast cancer, too. Breast medical oncologist Sharon Giordano, M.D., shares insights about male breast cancer.

Unfortunately relatable in so many areas - alkaline water, sugar, special diets, alternative, unproven “therapeutic” protocols, & let’s not forget coffee enemas 😳 All the 🤬 😡😤 feels about charlatans who promote these (incl other #cancer patients) #Oncosky #Cansky #bcsm #metastaticbreastcancer

Cancer cells feed on oxygen, so cancer patients should minimize their oxygen intake. … … … … … … … … … This is what goes thru my head whenever the muggles talk about sugar. #cansky #oncosky #oncsky

@janicetnbcmets.bsky.social pointed out how helpful having oncology tweetorials were on Twitter & the oncology health care community here is large & active so I'm sure they'll participate but we'll also need patients experts to do some, too. Any other ideas? #oncosky

The breast cancer community on Twitter was historically strong & proactive. @janicetnbcmets.bsky.social & i are discussing wsys to bring some of the most helpful aspects from Twitter to bsky such as tweetorials Would you participate & what topics interest you? (continued)

The Patient Centered Dosing Initiative does incredibly important work!
