Karen was always a giver of support for others with breast cancer. Karen and a friend, Rebecca Bryson, set up a fund at the University of Washington to support breast cancer. “The Kasonic Fund for HER2+ Breast Cancer” donations to this fund can be directed to the UW Foundation

Days like today have me seriously considering a LONG break from treatment (or stopping completely). Then I found out one friend passed away, and another is ending treatment, and I realized how selfish that is, and others would swap places with me in a minute. #ThisIsMBC

DoD CDMRP funding for cancer research, a unique funding process that has enabled breakthroughs in science, has $0 dollars going toward kidney, lung, pancreatic, and glioblastoma cancers in 2025. Tens of millions in cuts for research that has saved lives #cancer #research #science

Even HP was not tolerable for me as maintenance treatment for HER2+ MBC. The patient community calls Perjeta “poo-jeta” for a reason! Indefinite T-DxD is not realistic- survivors will have to contend with long term SEs of ADCs (think ❤️& liver fx) #ASCO25 #bcsm
