A very proud moment for this Torontonian 🙋🏻‍♀️here at #aacr25 - who was treated for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma at Princess Margaret Hospital @pmcancercentre! Should Toronto host a near-future #AACR Annual Meeting?🤞🤞
As I begin my term as @AACR President, I thank Pat LoRusso for her inspired leadership over the past year. I look forward to working with the entire cancer community to advance our shared mission. #AACR25

I miss Twitter circa 2009-2011. That was peak Twitter. It was so loving and when it truly embodied community. The ultimate vibe. I am grateful I got to be a part of that beauty.

On numerous occasions over the 10 years I've felt overwhelmed from love and support demonstrated to me. It helped me heal and be here. I didn't ask to get diagnosed with cancer - but now that I can, I'm down to be your thrivership hypewoman.
