Cherchant à vivre dans le déni, je suis preneuse de tous les témoignages de personnes qui ont eu droit à, je cite "Un scanner de bilan du [#cancer] catastrophique" et qui sont encore là pour en rigoler aujourd'hui. 😊
Do we think that a cancer vaccine could kill off the #antivaxx movement? Or am I just being optimistic? Kinda feels like this would be too big of a news even for their stupid brains.
“Doctors have begun trialling in hundreds of patients the world’s first personalised #mRNA#cancer#vaccine for #melanoma, as experts hailed its “gamechanging” potential to permanently cure cancer.”
Some of the folks who signed up for my #StickersAndStamps project finally got an email from me, thanking them for letting me know when their letters arrived.
Most of them arrived on, or near, the the day I had my surgery.
My recovery is still going well, and I finally had the mental and physical energy for the correspondence.
I'll be returning to working on the data visualization and art of the project soon!
“How would the average #atheist react if his daughter got #cancer? Will he pray to #science?”
When my now 30-year-old son was a baby, his mother and I had reason to suspect he had a brain tumor. As it turned out, he didn’t: what he had was a benign fluid cyst that looked remarkably like a certain kind of tumor on x-rays and MRIs. It took the most specialized of specialists, the Air Force’s only pediatric neuro-radio-oncologist, to figure it out. That was a terrifying couple of weeks.
I did all kinds of stuff during that time. I studied the subject, taking advantage of the medical library at the base hospital where I worked. I talked with military and civilian specialists about treatment and prognosis. I discussed options and plans with his mother. I braced myself for the horrifying conversation I expected to have with my parents when I told them what was happening to their only grandchild.
You know what I didn’t do? Pray.
See, I worked in the ER. I saw a lot of prayer. Patients praying for relief of pain. Their families praying for their survival. And chaplains praying for the souls of the dead. Because the patients’ and families’ prayers never made any difference at all.
But most of our patients survived, and left the hospital reasonably healthy and whole. It wasn’t prayer that accomplished that outcome. It was our knowledge and skill. The hard work of the medics and nurses and physicians—not just taking care of patients, but for our whole careers. Late nights and early mornings, endless hours of study and practice.
Many of my colleagues prayed too. They wanted God to guide their hands, and they believed that praying would help make that happen. I’m fine with that: whatever works for you. Me, I’ll put my trust in what I can see and touch. A whole lot of people are walking around today because that trust was warranted. I have no idea if God was there when I was working on them … but I know I was.
So fuck you for turning other people’s very real pain and fear and death into an excuse to evangelize. If you ever need care, I’ll give it, because I’m a better person than you. God won’t save you, but I will. Chew on that for a while: I hope it tastes like ashes in your filthy mouth.
My life is very complicated since every day I have to fight against cancer, I have Lymphoma (NHL) I don't know how long I can last alive, it was all a medical error and the cancer has spread completely I am very scared I am barely a 18 year old girl, what I want most is to live. Could you please help me pay for my treatment?
“Even if you perform surgery to remove the tumors, no surgery is perfect and there is outgrowth of metastasis if no additional treatment is provided,” explained Steinmetz. “Here, we use our plant virus [cowpea mosaic] nanoparticles after surgery to boost the immune system to reject any residual disease and prevent circulating tumor cells from metastatic seeding. We found that it works really, really well [in mice]!”’
i was told i was gonna hit a wall of fatigue sometime after the 2nd or 3rd week after finishing treatment. am glad to be alive and on my way to recovery but this sucks ass.
we need #UBI as part of health care. nobody should have to be precariously unemployed during a situation like this.
anybody having to go to a job during or after #cancer treatment is lying to do that they can handle it.
this is not bullshit. to be forced to work thru a #health crisis is eugenics.
I am still in this difficult fight against cancer, these last few days I have had a lot of depression I feel very bad about it I feel like I am a damn burden on my family, please consider helping this poor girl get the help she needs to cover her cancer treatment 😢
The global rise in #cancer cases has led to an increased use of #CancerDrugs, which are vital for treating the disease. However, these drugs, particularly #cytostatics, are now emerging as a significant #environmental threat. Cytostatics, which slow or stop the growth of cancer cells, are not fully removed by #wastewater treatment plants & can enter aquatic #ecosystems, posing risks to #wildlife & potentially humans.
