Anyone else?!?! “As a cancer survivor I have experienced loads of nasty side effects... I want to help remove some of the stigma attached to these side effects...” ~ dx'd at 42 w/ early stage breast cancer #MakeCancerLessShitty #btsm #bcsm #crcsm #gyncsm #LCSM #SuppOnc #SurvOnc

When we talk about ways to #MakeCancerLessShitty we need to consider the needs of spouses, children, partners, and parents of individuals with a diagnosis too. #SuppOnc #SurvOnc cc: Jill Feldman Gitte Joergensen Stacey Tinianov (she/her) MPH, BCPA Lauren Ghazal, PhD, FNP-BC Beverly A. Zavaleta MD

The #EMBRACE program is hosting a virtual caregiver support group for spouses, partners, and family members of #BreastCancer patients to come together and provide mutual emotional support. Join us on Tuesday, August 20 | 6-7 PM ET To register email [email protected]. edu

Make Cancer Less Shitty Jill Feldman Stacey Tinianov (she/her) MPH, BCPA Lauren Ghazal, PhD, FNP-BC Beverly A. Zavaleta MD We want to hear from co-survivors, caregivers, friends, family. Share a story and get a #MCLS T-shirt 👕 makecancerlessshitty.com/patient-stories. Being on both sides of cancer is equally shitty and we need to talk more about the trauma and loss experienced after losing someone❤️

#bcsm- the #EMBRACE program is an excellent way to learn & connect. Happy to see a virtual #caregiver support group! A largely unmet need in the #breastcancer & #metastaticbreastcancer communities.
