@ketaminh You may be one of the famous "never getters". We need to study your T cells.

Congratulations to my supervisor @LaraEdbrooke for her prize winning presentation on #lungcancer prehab & rehab at the #COSA22 conference! 🫁💪🚴

@Dr_AmerZeidan The book was amazing.

#AllQuietontheWesternFront is a masterful #Netflix movie that, unlike war movies that glorifies characters, graphically shows the stark inhumanity of war. It depicts how young people are deceived & manipulated by nationalistic movements into death for ambitions of individuals

So important for every woman to know her breast cancer risk, and act on it.

@mskrasovitsky @COSAoncology @drcbsteer @CNSA_ORG @SIOGorg @YoungSIOG Grateful+++ to @COSAoncology for the chance to bring equitable care a step closer. What an amazing #COSA22 for #gerionc care for older Australians! Day 1 plenary, ageism & power of language-@mskrasovitsky, stigma-@drcbsteer, elder abuse, Aust Cancer Plan, posters and more. WOW!

@DrRahulLadwa @COSAoncology Thanks Rahul.

Thanks to all the @COSAoncology committee members for a fantastic conference #COSA22

Primary care Least valued Most valuable

Great summary. Look after general practice and the health system will be a lot healthier for all Australians. @Mark_Butler_MP @brookmanknight Healthcare will be a lot more expensive and inefficient without access to GPs.

@bytimbaker @ConversationEDU You should come next year Tim.

@hagsie Crossed paws. Silence. Eye contact. Head tilt optional.

@franboyleAM - I reckon I’ve seen something similar in one of your communication talks.

Dr Abhijit Patel emphasises that we know there are #healthinequities in diverse groups and now is the time to develop interventions that address barriers at various levels. Think about what power & privilege you have, and start taking action next week in clinic. #COSA22

The only acceptable gap is no gap-@GregHuntMP former Federal Health Minister on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cancer inequities as #cosa22 comes to a close. Looks to the future and how partnerships can change policy, clinical practice and research. @COSAoncology

#COSA22 presidential lecture from @GregHuntMP highlighting progress in govt programs in #cancer and insights into advocacy. Great subbing in by @drcbsteer from @awrccentre @RtnVic for @franboyleAM ( hope you’re coming good Fran) @COSAoncology

@sandraturner49 @WestSydHealth @RENWestmead @HockeyPeter @SonCronje @janebolster @DrAntG Stay safe.

Prof e-health USyd Tim Shaw talking Digital Disruption at #FLS#ASH2022 w usual infectious enthusiasm. Me in bed watching on Zoom feeling sorry for myself w infectious covid 😩 #leadership @WestSydHealth @RENWestmead @HockeyPeter @SonCronje @janebolster @DrAntG

However he was just any of us on a bad day. He had risk factors. But he was just a human being, who was loved, and valued and meaningful, who couldn’t see this for long enough to do a thing that I think we all have capacity to do. Which is why we all must be part of the solution

#COSA22 @CancerAustralia Australian Cancer Plan. Is it time for an Optimal Care Pathway for older adults with cancer? #gerionc @COSAoncology

@MariaCable2 @helen_haar Check the Australian charity Canteen.

@helen_haar I can’t think of specific UK research but when you do a search rem to use other terms & truncation such adolescen* teen* youth tumo* oncol* surviv* indentif* etc. lots written on survivorship, end of treatment etc but not sure on using label of survivor etc. interesting-gd luck!

🔔Is there anyone on my Twitter that has completed research on young adults’ experiences of cancer/or know of existing literature about the label ‘survivor’ in relation to TYA cancer? All relevant to UK. (For my undergraduate dissertation) Any help would be great! #TYA #cancer
