Here's our second episode in our series on the potential of psilocybin-assisted therapy to help us live as well as possible with MBC. In this episode, we talk to two women with breast cancer who had legal access to psilocybin-assisted therapy: bit.ly/3zdYPUk

TY to @lyndaweatherby of @ourmbclife & Kathryn Tucker of @emergelawgroup for sharing ongoing efforts to help patients w/ advanced illness access psilocybin for management of anxiety. Clinical trials show benefit but RTT requires controlled access NOW #QoL righttotrypsilocybin.com/

Going forward, no medical conferences should be done in states that deny health care for women. The next @ASH_hematology meeting is in Louisiana and the next AACR meeting in Florida.

And it happens. The Supreme Court says women do not have autonomy over our own bodies. Rise up, register, and VOTE in November to elect those who respect women.

Dr. LoRusso bringing up the super important point 📌that many places have gone away from #IHC in favor of #FISH. Very important for us all to talk to our pathologists 🔬 and let them know how important HER-2 IHC 1+ and 2+ is now. #bcsm #ASCO22 @OncoAlert – at Chicago, IL

Was just discussing vagaries of HER2 testing by IHC with two of the best breast pathologists in the world. The noted the new "personalized medicine." If the oncologist says, I'm hoping the tumor is HER2-low, the pathologist can always find a reason to say, "sure, it could be 1+."

Black women and men represent only 4% to 6% of patients in all cancer clinical trials. Based on the findings of our BECOME survey, we've identified four actions that can be taken to improve participation. mbca.me/3GUDgvB

Patient-led research FTW! Black patients are ready for their #oncologists to talk to them about #clinicaltrials. Healthcare providers need to do better. #mbc #stageivneedsmore #podcast #ourmbclife
Yes, it shocked me, to be honest. Thank you for noticing, and for speaking up. Acknowledgment is how we will eliminate this. Everyone should be treated AND addressed equally regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation. @fumikochino @NarjustDumaMD @tmprowell @OncoAlert – at Chicago, IL
To the male physician who acknowledged the esteemed panel of drs during the SERDS presentation as Dr. Turner & the “other two ladies” @ErikaHamilton9 @jhaveri_komal,an apology is in order. Misogyny has no place in this cancer space. #ASCO22 #womeninoncology
