Not much better!
I keep seeing studies
which find how Covid
damages the brain
and the lungs
and the heart,
and a new study finds
it raises the risk
of kidney disease too,
all of which is why
you will find me
still wearing a mask.

Amazing design and connection! I’m a retired special ed teacher, mostly preschool, K, and primary grades. I’m still in touch with one student, now in her 20s and it’s wonderful. My son is in touch with his K teacher which I love.
The Loneliness Experienced During Forever Cancer Care
At first, there so much noise. Phones ringing, kind and supportive messages flooding in. Appointment after appointment, preparation for surgery after surgery. Fitting it all in becomes a full time job. Information is a flood, coming at you…
Thank you!
Bibi?
We need a woman as president so desperately. In fact, we need an entirely matriarchal government for at least a few generations. Men have been running wild for a bit too long.
All the best to your music director! My nephew’s donor had a remarkably easy and full recovery.
A nephews had a live donor liver transplant in August, over 2 yrs after a devastating stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis at 33. We did a family and friends zoom info meeting to ask for potential donors. Over 50 people applied to be a donor!! It’s marvelous that there are so many good people!
Typo above. My diagnosis was in 8/2011.

Thanks to medical researchers, patient in trials, and excellent care at @danafarber.bsky.social @danafarbernews.bsky.social ! I’ve lived so long that my oncologist is retiring.
2/2 I had progression 3x, treated by radiation (SBRT). Scans last week showed NEAD, no evidence of active disease, status since 2022. Just amazing! I’ve been very lucky. All the best to you!
1/2 Congratulations and cheers! I’m 14 1/2 years post dx w stage 4 lung cancer. Initial biopsy showed EGFR and I started on Tarceva. In 2 months, I could breathe better. Resistance (T790) showed up and I was in an early trial for Tagrisso in 10/2013 and I’m still on it!
In his latest Connecting the Dots article, Dhru Deb, PhD, highlights milestones and investigators who have driven the progress transforming EGFR+ #LungCancer from a mystery to something many patients now live with for years. LCRF.org/ctd22726
I was dx’d in 8/2012, the week of my 58th bday. I was first on Tarceva and could breathe better in 2 months. Progression happened and I started an early trial for Tagrisso in 10/2013. I’m still on it! Thanks to all the medical researchers and patients who helped me live. @DanaFarber
My nephew was diagnosed with stage 4 CRC at 33. He had 2 years of very aggressive chemo, then had a liver transplant 6 months ago. He’s doing well, I’m glad to say.
"The most frightening thing is, we don’t completely understand why these rates are rising in young people without risk factors” - @danafarber.bsky.social’s Dr. Kimmie Ng speaks with 7News Boston about the rising rate of young-onset colorectal cancer.

OMG!
Retirement is for the birds. ❤️
Wonderful!
Hey there clean air friends! Can anyone recommend a simple explainer resource re CO2 levels that I could share with the new roller rink in the area that measured 4000+ on my Aranet? I'd love to be able to share feedback with them in hopes that they can make some improvements. It was really bad. 🤢
Hillary Clinton’s fire and fury opening statement to the House Oversight Committee.
PSA: if you have chronic fatigue and have never had your ferritin checked, please do so.
And look at the actual value because the reference range is likely trash. It should be at minimum 30 and ideally 50+
Thank you for your attention.
Happy one week birthday to this lil’ beauty!
