@NCIDirector @theNCI Best wishes for positive energy and full recovery. Thank you for your inspiring example.

At an @theNCI town hall with staff this morning, I shared that I’ve been very recently diagnosed with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative early #BreastCancer. My prognosis is very favorable. To anyone with cancer today: I am truly in this together with you. #bcsm

En route for @ASTRO_org #ASTROAdvocacy Day! Why is #radonc #advocacy so important to me? Because health policy directly affects patients with cancer’s ability to access & afford life saving treatments like radiation. ☢️🇺🇸🗽🧬Bad policy widens health care inequities & costs lives.

ASTRO is now part of the new European Cancer Organization-ASCO network, focusing on the impact the war in #Ukraine has on access to cancer treatments. View resources at onco-help.org & learn what work is being done by oncology, medical & patient orgs. #StandWithUkraine

ASTRO and its members across the globe stand ready to support #Ukraine in any efforts to ensure people with cancer have access to needed care. Volunteer to help #CancerPatients in Eastern Europe find medical care/support, learn more: ow.ly/wq5150IkKfc #StandWithUkraine

Thank you @ASTRO_org members for being such a big part of my life over the past 4 1/2 years. It has been an honor to represent you before Congress & to work with you on advocacy initiatives. Your passion for treating cancer patients is an inspiration. #RadOnc #ASTROadvocacy

ASTRO condemns Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine. Our support goes to all affected including people needing access to medical services & healthcare workers who provide life-saving care. We stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people & hope for a swift, peaceful resolution.
