🚨 TIME TOXICITY in Cancer Care ⏰
How much of a patient’s remaining life is spent in hospitals instead of at home? 🏥💔
A first-of-its-kind prospective Indian study (CTRI/2023/05/053281) finds:
🧬 92 patients with advanced cancers
🕰️ Mean time toxicity = 226 hrs / 2 months (~9 days)
⚖️ 17% of life spent in healthcare-related activities
🚗 Travel & waiting time = 🔝 contributors
💉 Only ~1/8 of time adds real treatment value
💡 Higher QoL → lower time toxicity
🎯 Implication: For many with limited survival, time may be the most precious currency.
👉 Oncologists must weigh not only drug toxicity… but time toxicity.

#TittyTuesday 💗
A #mammogram can save your life
But only if you do it in time.
🚫Stop waiting for SHA to call you.
🚫Stop waiting for someone to pay for you.
🚫Stop waiting for a lump you can feel.
By then, cancer is already ahead of you.
#Breastcancer 👙does not give warnings.
No alarms⏰. No early pain😩.
Silence 🤫is how it wins.
Take charge🙌🏾.
Book that mammogram yourself🫵🏽.
Buy yourself more years⌛.
Buy yourself future birthdays🎂.
Buy yourself time with the people👩🏽🤝👨🏿 who love ❤️you.
You are worth the cost💵.
You are worth the effort💪🏾.
You are worth the screening🔍.
💗 Share 🔁this with a woman you love.
Remind her: The best gift is a life 🕊️saved early.
Yours faithfully
