@ThanksCancer GREAT questions. Will respond soon. :-)
Negotiating on Medicare meds prices is such a no-brainer. Or should be. @P4ADNOW #PayLessForRX
Access to prescription drugs can mean life or death for some patients. These stories shared by our partners @P4ADNOW highlight how crucial it is to allow Medicare to negotiate the price of these RX medications and make them affordable for all! #PayLessForRX
A Pennsylvania team to be proud of.

@swaggsheila1 @Beyonce Yes yes yes! (To your choice to keep living the most in life each day) ♥️ A reminder to us all - whether still in treatment, or (gratefully) past it...
in remarkable statement, President Carter family shares that 95 year old Rosalynn Carter "has dementia" and continues "to live happily at home with her husband" - this after her lifetime of advocacy for those w/mental illness & need for greater transparency in discussing it

@Dr_RShatsky @premera Oh. My. God. (My face is wrinkled up in horror.) Premara? I've never even heard of them. Healthcare is one big profit center. Not a service to keep or make people well. & Gov regulators - Let. This. Happen.
@jrovner So I found the website for your KHN What the Health podcast-but is there a sign-up to be notified by email when new posts are up?? khn.org/news/tag/what-…
@jrovner Where else can we 'follow' your thoughts? :-) Could you post a link?
@kjmartson @ThanksCancer ?!OMG-Shocked. Doc didn't even ask you if you had any Qs B4 turning you over to a nurse for add'l info? Having had quite the opposite experience in DC at George Washington U Med Center-I can only say I hope yr other onc docs were more empathetic & avail. If not, find another doc.
@MollieKatzen Yup. According to NYT, reporters Peter Baker/Susan Glasser learned idea was proposed by billionaire Ron Lauder, a college 'friend'. nytimes.com/2022/09/14/us/…
@jrovner Please share when you figure it out. :-)
@ohyouresotough Very important heads-up. Thnx.
@MariluCasini @ScienceAdvances Might you have a similar visual for blood stem cells? I had autologous stem cell transplant for stage 3 IBC 20 yrs ago (w/my own stem cells) - would love to see those cells. :-) #stemcells
