@BBCWorldatOne While I am all for talking about death more openly, this is the honestly one of the worst takes I have ever come across.

"Lots of doctors have written to me saying: 'I'm Spartacus'." Prof Richard Coker recently admitted in The Times that he had hastened the death of many patients by increasing their pain relief. He explains why people should think about death more.

Opioids used at appropriate doses for pain and breathlessness do not hasten death (Evidence based) Inappropriately high dose Opioids are a terrible choice for relieving anxiety or distress at end of life, the calming effect is transient and agitation/hallucinations will occur

@motorway have made trying to sell my car an absolute nightmare. I would strongly advise against using them, their profile creation is a shambles which puts the seller at a huge disadvantage. Bitterly disappointing

So many aspects of palliative care remain misunderstood and misrepresented. It’s not helped by the inequities in access and unrelenting pressures on acute hospitals.

Cheers, chills, and a standing ovation when RASolute 302 showed unprecedented survival on daraxonrasib for patients with progressive pancreatic cancer Seldom do you sense you’re witnessing a historic moment in cancer care but this feels like ras targeting has arrived #ASCO26

It was my mum’s 7th year Anniversary this week. I don’t think we talk enough about how confusing it can be for health care professionals to reconcile their knowledge, experience and expectations with the reality of a loved one dying. Writing This thread helped me somehow

Pancreatic cancer: Palliative care reflections A thread 🧵 Difficult to manage on so many levels. My mum died from this condition and I was very grateful that she had the support of palliative care at home, in hospital and eventually the hospice. Some things I’ve learned 👇

Encouraging advance in pancreatic cancer, an area with often very poor prognosis & fewer options than other cancers. Compared to conventional treatment, Daraxonrasib incr survival in metast pancreatic cancer in this landmark @NEJM trial: - doubling of median survival time - 12-month survival tripled ( from 18% to 53%) - Improved ability to continue with treatment - only 1.2% stopped treatment versus 11.2% 👇 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
