#GivingTuesday is almost here. Our Board Members have pledged $7,450 to inspire others to give. Join them and make your #GivingTuesday donation today.
Your contribution helps fund the research that brings us closer to making MBC a chronic disease rather than a fatal one. metavivor.org/givingtuesday
As a physician-patient with metastatic cancer (breast, not lung), thank you for sharing. May research and modern medicine keep you, as I put it, #NotDeadYet for years and years to come.
Side effects like pneumonitis, fatigue, diarrhea plague cancer tx. Patient Centered Dosing Initiative (therightdose.org) blew the door off this topic and @fda.gov + @ascocancer.bsky.social are out with further guidelines that make sense w/new classes of drugs #cansky www.raps.org/news-and-art...
Thank you for the opportunity to share about this important meeting and organization!
Yup, it happens, a lot, in the metastatic breast cancer space
What a beautiful dog!
When researchers and patient advocates work together we are #StrongerTogether #SmarterTogether
Fantastic to see work focusing on #MaleBreastCancer l! #bcsm
I’m sorry to hear about your mom, but it sounds like she had a great life. I know that I’m here twice as long as statistics which suggest because of research too. #ThanksNIH
Ever heard of #StageIVStampede? Its 2 days of #MBCAdvocacy, legislative training & education presented by @metavivor.bsky.social in Washington, D.C. @stage4kelly.bsky.social discusses how the MBC community unites for change.

Happy birthday!!
As a person #NotDeadYet with metastatic breast cancer this is incredibly disheartening.
non-Governmental research funding is becoming more important every day. @metavivor.bsky.social received almost double the usual number of letters of intent last week. We need our supporters to be generous this year so we can fund promising research!
I haven’t but I’ll take a look
I’ve had ☢️ ⚡️ before, to my 🦴. Piece of 🍰.
Just finished 5 days of SBRT to my liver. “It’ll be 🍰” I thought.
My liver: 😈 😆
Me: 🤢 🥱 😕

And wear a 😷
Almost 50% of people will get cancer and virtually every drug on the market today went through the NIH at some point.
Thank you Paula! I’ll have to find the link to the interview I did with you about the research that we funded.
Thrilled to be on the @metavivor.bsky.social board of directors and share this announcement of our 2024 research awards on #WorldCancerDay!!
The 2025 cycle opens this week (2/5 - translational, 2/6 - early career, 2/7 - quality of life). Check out www.metavivor.org/research/gra... for details
Even with @metavivor.bsky.social’s new 90/10 split of donations they’ll still be putting a higher percent into research and programs than any other cancer nonprofit I could find
Thanks - I’ve been on west coast weekend nights before but this is the first time I saw that message - gotta do maintenance sometime though
Thank you - being mentioned with these brilliant women is an honor
Well this is f-ing concerning
Since our government will no longer recognize it, let me wish everyone happy Black History Month, and remind you that Black history is American history. We are a better nation because of diversity.
I have spent so much time on my phone today, posting and answering emails, that when I just sat down to take a break with a physical book I tried to swipe up to turn the page 😂
Hey #oncsky #bcsm friends: METAvivor is here!! @metavivor.bsky.social
OMG! My book is out in the world!
Congratulations Liz!!
