For a long time I pinned the language guide here but I learned about this tool kit this morning for addressing #lungcancer stigma. Including context, images, as well as language makes it easy to apply across various media. nlcrt.org/lcs-cat/

And the #redtoque and @TheWRP4LC are in Edmonton where it is obligatory to cheer for the #BlueJays (sorry my American friends.)

Inspired by flowers and reminded of our collection. 37 varieties at one point.

Anyone interested in this β€œostrich farm crisis” should read this thread for more context. It’s no wonder that even Pierre Poilievre has been wary to take on this cause.
Replying to @angie_rasmussen
The farm has failed over & over again to demonstrate they are capable of carrying out even basic biosecurity. They have misled everyone about what their business actually is (they are selling eggs to make unproven antibody supplements, based on their court filings).

Thnx to historic investments in Ontario, we’re making ++progress towards building a system where every person is attached to primary care. The 2026–27 call for proposals is now open, with each Ontario Health Team eligible to submit at least 1 proposal. More here from @kellygrant1

I know it's Friday afternoon, but I can't sit on this any longer. I've been chipping away for months at writing an open letter and setting up an online petition for complex illness care in Canada. It's obvious this is such a widespread issue, and we really need a coordinated effort to improve care cross-country. I'm still putting finishing touches on the open letter, but in the meantime, the petition is now live - you can start signing and circulating it now! I'd love to get a lot of signatures quickly and be able to append it to the open letter when I send it to government and media, and hope it'll get some decent traction. For now, the main demand is to set up a network of complex illness clinics as the ultimate goal, but to provide a plan in the interim to care for us. And generally raise awareness about this, so that we can continue to follow up around our specific conditions. Don't forget to use the hashtag if you're sharing the petition or your stories on X or Insta #Care4ComplexCanada. Thanks in advance everyone for your support! change.org/p/improve-care-fo…

#redtoque First round of Dato DXD done and dusted. No side effects so far and with the x my appetite is back. The ten kilo weight drop was a shock and required serious dose recalculation .

I have never solved the mini this quickly. 37 seconds. And just when I am lamenting my ability to concentrate. I solved the daily mini! nytimes.com/badges/games/min…

That was an interesting pair of calls. First one we discussed Health Canada's roadblocks on Dato DXD and started plans for restarting pemetrexed. There was a distinctly sad overtone to the conversation. As in we don't have any other options and this one isn't going to work...

The call two minutes ago was a completely different kettle of fish. Health Canada has approved the Dato and my oncologist was so excited he couldn't wait to tell me. Talk about a rollercoaster. 2/2

The #redtoque isn't going to Barcelona so I'm joining the #seawolves at a golf tournament.

I found Jeane first as an author but then as a fellow cancer patient. I'm in awe of her fundraising campaign. I'm supporting Canadian Cancer Society! do.nr/d6w8s547 via @DonorDrive
