It doesn't matter if Gus Walz is 7, 17, or 27. It doesn't matter if he has autism, adhd, or is the most neurotypical person alive. Being proud of your dad is normal. Crying is normal. Being so proud of your dad that you cry is ASPIRATIONAL. Toxic masculinity is such a plague.
.Vice President Kamala Harris (soon to be Madam President) as someone with #MetastaticBreastCancer I am so grateful for the work your mother did to help scientists and clinicians understand breast cancer better.
The Lazarex Cancer Fdn has provided financial help to so many people to enroll in clinical trials. It’s up to us to continue to advocate, w/ them, for systemic changes so that trial sponsors (who will make 💰 if their drug is approved) do the right thing and cover travel to trial site

Those of us w/ #MetastaticBreastCancer (for those in the UK, secondary) deal w/ the side effucks/collateral damage with no end, except death, in sight. Most days I just buck up and deal with it, but some days that is just too hard. I see you Dr Liz O'Riordan. Holding space for you.
