Navigating the payment process for treatment can be stress-inducing, and just as painful a complication from cancer as any physical side effects. n.pr/2XhuqAu

Look at this Patient Decision Journey diagram. These are all touch points in the path a patient must navigate for a clinical trial - huge burden on the patient. #Patients2019
Cancer can affect a patient's family as much as it does the patient. It's exciting to see how we can improve treatment on all fronts for all involved. bit.ly/2SgrhgM (Article Source: @PatientsEngage)
Palliative care is incredibly important. Here's one way in which it's being made more available. wapo.st/2txX7LS
Incredible advice from @DrSGraff. Instead of talking about how cancer could have happened to a loved one, ask about how you can support.
“If someone you know or love has been diagnosed with cancer, do not place the blame on their shoulders. Ask how you can best support them.” bit.ly/2GmyN8d #ASCOconnection #bcsm
"Build the right team, get the right tests, get the right treatment, share data." We would add, "Build your support network."
A cancer diagnosis can be frightening. @Bidencancer Advisory Committee member @KathyGiusti and her team at @HarvardHBS developed “4 steps that all people with #cancer can take to give them the best chance at beating the disease.” bit.ly/2BzJArS

For those touched by cancer, outside of the hospital, what ended up affecting your life/treatment the most?
As additional resources become available in cancer care, let's leverage the resources we have now. cle.clinic/2DhYFzw
Gaps between equality and equity can be closed better understanding each patient's story and their journey through cancer. bit.ly/2RnrvSX

We're looking forward to hosting our #BidenCancerSummit in conjunction with @getrobincare tomorrow. As @joebiden said: “Patients should not be made to jump through hoops to access and share their own data." We agree completely and support @bidencancer

"Patient groups realize that the 3 things their members really own—their tissue, medical history, and personal story—can be leveraged to speed up progress in their disease; as a result, partnered research approaches are set to become increasingly common.."
