September is ovarian cancer awareness month 🎗
1️⃣ Ask for Genetic Testing
2️⃣ Look beyond BRCA 1/2
3️⃣ Understand your results
100% diagnosed with ovarian cancer are recommended to get genetic testing.
Sharing facts from Dr. @karenluMD's important and insightful presentation on **Inherited Risk and informed Choices in Genetics & Prevention in Gynecologic Cancer** at our recently concluded Annual Conference, OVARCOMING CANCER 2026.
🌸 BLOOM with knowledge
🌸 Pass the Petal of Awareness
🌸 Bring Ovarian Cancer Awareness to its full BLOOM

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.
Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

I woke up to a message from New Hampshire. A bill had made it to the state Senate — one that Representative Julie Miles championed after watching me do peer-to-peer calls with insurance reviewers who weren't qualified to be making decisions about my patients. I'm a surgeon in Texas. I had no idea this had traveled that far.
Between cases at Redbud today, I fired off emails to NH Senate members, logged into a YouTube Live, and watched HB 1554 pass.
Here's what it does:
✅ Requires peer reviewers to be actual peers — credentialed, named, with their NPI number and specialty certification on the line
✅ Allows physicians to communicate with that peer reviewer at any point in the prior auth process — not just after a denial or on appeal
This is a patient-centered, common-sense reform. And it happened because someone posted something. Told the truth. Did the right thing.
Thank you, Representative Julie Miles and Senator Tim McGough. New Hampshire just set a standard. I hope other states are paying attention.
Get involved. Speak up. You never know what good it might do.

I have been so fortunate thus far to spend my career caring for people with cancer and their families, building programs and helping to build leaders. I had the honor of building and maturing the @StephensonCC phase I unit, then mentoring/sponsoring @DebbieRic23 and @Phase1Onc who now lead the gyn onc division and phase 1 unit respectively! So proud of them.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg.
The beloved Cubs second baseman was a five-tool model of consistency in the 1980s and early ’90s, making 10 consecutive All-Star teams and winning 9 straight Gold Glove awards.
On June 23, 1984, a national TV audience watched Sandberg hit a pair of game-tying home runs in the 9th and 10th innings off Cardinals closer and future Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter. Part of a magical Cubs Postseason run, the game is forever remembered in Chicago as “The Sandberg Game.” He went on to win the 1984 NL MVP Award.
Over 16 seasons, Sandberg slugged 282 home runs, 277 of which were as a second baseman, then a Major League record. He hit 25+ homers five times and stole 30+ bases five times.
Sandberg made his Major League debut with the Phillies in 1981 and later managed them for parts of three seasons.
On June 23, 2024, the 40th anniversary of his iconic moment, the Cubs unveiled a statue of Sandberg outside Wrigley Field.
Sandberg bravely battled cancer the last two years. He was 65.

#UterineCancer is the most common gynecologic cancer, and it’s on the rise 📈
It's more common in older women, but younger women can get affected too.
