am incredibly grateful for The Eyes. that she called me to APOLOGIZE for having to give me a #cancer diagnosis, who does that?
a doctor that cares. not a machine but a person, a real human-being for whom the hunt is for those splotchy brown spots on a breast sonogram.
capitalists #techbros will never understand that. ironically, the asshats who claim to be gods controlling the secrets of all tech, know shit about what techné is, and even less about the art of science…

"Understanding Inequalities in Cancer Survival Using Bayesian Machine Learning"

Most cancer patients face comorbidities that complicate survival. We use Bayesian machine learning (BART) in a relative survival framework to estimate excess hazard, uncover vulnerable subgroups, and identify drivers of inequalities in colon cancer survival.
he picked up the phone because he knew this particular radiology lab was ran by women who don’t fuck around with cancer.
after the normal 6-months wait (the first mammo is the baseline) am called back in and that’s when ―unbeknownst to me― the #cancer detection begins.
each and every radiologist was a woman, respected by the rest of the crew. they all talked to each other, asking to double check what they’re seeing. they all took notes, communicated with each other… then pick up the phone…
Hey all, my son’s 6-mo-old basically step-sister was diagnosed with a rare form of liver #cancer last week. She started chemo today, but obviously has a long road ahead to beating this. Her mom is facing not only medical bills but also a lot of lost wages to care for her, so we’re raising money to help defray those living and medical costs. Any help is great, even just a boost! Thanks! #MutualAidRequest #MutualAid @mutualaid
There has been an alarming increase in colorectal cancer diagnoses in younger people, and it’s now one of the top causes of cancer-related deaths in those under 50. Experts don’t know what’s causing the uptick... But at any age, factors like obesity, smoking, alcohol use, a lack of physical activity and a poor diet can increase the risk.

När man drabbas av något allvarligt och lång tid av väntan följer så tenderar saker att vattnas ur.
Sedan kommer det tillbaka som en käftsmäll.
Om typ 4 veckor ska jag genomgå en tuff operation, där bästa utfall (läs Bästa) är att jag kommer ha en enda halv njure kvar, och dialys första tiden samt en två till tre månaders återhämtning.
När bästa möjliga scenario känns skrämmande vill man inte ens nudda vid värstascenariot…
Livrädd är bara förnamnet.
Un #cancer oublié refait surface chez les moins de 50 ans : un mystère grandissant http://sci3nc.es/TMbLcD
Current #cancer care is amazing. An elderly relative got a scary diagnosis one year ago. Now thanks to a combination of chemo and tailored antibodies the tumours are barely visible and she's running around like before. The doctors identify a surface protein that the tumour cells have but not the patient's cells, and make antibodies that zap them. 
Michel Daviet, ex-salarié d’un groupe semencier, a frôlé la mort : un #cancer dû aux #pesticides. Un lymphome de Burkitt, cancer considéré, à ce jour, comme le plus agressif de tous.
« Le lien avec les pesticides est désormais avéré scientifiquement. Bon sang, qu’attendez-vous pour arrêter de nous empoisonner ? »
