I'm calling an #ASCOFashion audible for those still packing for #ASCO24 . 🏈📢💃

It's the 2nd annual #YellowDressChallenge to live your full and authentic self as illustrated by Dr Narjust Florez, MD, FASCO's phenomenal Journal of Clinical Oncology essay: 'My White Coat Doesn't Fit': ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.12…

Once again on my pre #ASCO24 check list, filed under #selfcare . Annual #mammogram ✅

Invest in your future, #CancerScreening can’t wait. The truth is anyone can get cancer. Early detection improves the odds that tx is successful, less intense, & leads to better outcomes.

'Among all the excitement & hope of groundbreaking & innovative treatments, I —and most importantly, my patients— are left out.'

In the lead up to #ASCO24 , time to reflect back on Dr Haydeé Verduzco's words in Women in Oncology about gaps in access & affordability

“It broke me”
#MedicalDebt & #FinancialToxicity from cancer is pervasive. The burden affects entire families, with relatives pitching in financially or caring for their sick loved ones.

“It can cause this wealth shock that can ripple on”
Brianna Abbott The Wall Street Journal

Much of our medical knowledge is anchored on disease presentations & symptoms in non-Hispanic white adults. Non-White (or #AYACSM ) people can struggle for years to get an accurate diagnosis, continually gaslit by doctors who ignore their concerns.

I've worked w Dr Justin M. Barnes since 2020. He is the REAL DEAL: brilliant analytical mind🧠, compassionate heart🫀, & phenomenal skills to pull it all off💪. I'm overjoyed for his Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation YIA & his future faculty career.
#RadOnc Chairs: he's on the job market for 2025!

📍 #ASCO24 pro tip: Save this map!

Is it even ASCO if you're not:

🏃‍♀️... running across the center to make it to sessions on time?
❌... accidently going to the wrong building?
🗺️... getting lost on the way to the hotel shuttles?

On my ride into work today in New York City. 🗽🇺🇸 Immigrants built America.

Screening for #financialtoxicity #healthrelatedsocialRisks can help thousands of pts. We need to find ways to improve acceptance rates & must continually reassess the program to ensure that our 'help' actually ⬆️ outcomes for pts. Can't wait for Dr Bridgette Thom, PhD's #ASCO24 talk!

One of the amazing things about NYC is how often art just 'happens' to you if you take a minute to see it. This installation has been at Hudson Yards for the past 6 months(?) and I only noticed today. How many others have just walked by? #weekendsinNYC 🌆

Vegan Caribbean food at HAAM (Healthy As A Motha), vegan cake at HappyZoeVeganBakery, and vintage furniture browsing and some time in a park. It was a Williamsburg kind of day. #weekendsinNYC

Beach? Lake? Beach at a lake! 🌊☀️⛱️ #weekendsinNYC (or really #weekendswithin75minofNYC ) The new sun shade mini tent worked great!

✍️Excited to present in the #ASCO24 ASCO Publications Lounge in a session I have short hand named 'Peer Review & You'
📅Monday, June 3
⏰2-3pm

We will be talking #peerreview for trainees/JR faculty, how it can help your career, and also improve your research & academic writing.

Sometimes you're in a hurry & trying to multitask with virtual tumor board & find the free nearest Citibike station & a stranger says 'Girl you look great' but not in a creepy I'm gonna stalk you way but in a nice/nonthreatening way & the city of New York just LIFTS 👏YOU👏 UP

Amazing visit from student doc Rachelle Monteau who dropped off treats! 'You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find vegan Haitian food but I don't back down from challenges!' 🙏😋
I have had the privilege to know Rachelle since she was a college freshman. She's now a rising MS3!

🙌Excited to join these amazing researchers & advocates posting #ASCO24 #SoMe insights ASCO

“You’re sowing seeds today. You don’t know when they’re going to sprout.
There’s so much pressure to accomplish all the science today.
I feel that pressure too, but I want to have a long career, & part of that means not burning out tomorrow.'
