Today Hasie & Clara Sherman, winners of the 2018 SOY Campaign gave their SOY Scholarship away to a 17-year-old Leukemia survivor- Enrique Avila. So inspiring to see students giving back to the blood cancer community.#soy4lls #cancer #ATX

For some, the side effects of #chemo can make the #holidays especially challenging. This nausea-reducing "mocktail" may offer a bit of help. bit.ly/2CYuVF1

In 2017, there was a lot of buzz around #immunotherapy. One of our top videos of the year shows how it works. #CancerMoonshot #endcancer

How does cancer immunotherapy work?

Traditionally, we've treated cancer with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. But there's a new way. Rather than attacking the cancer itself, immunotherapy trains the immune system to fight cancer.

We are in awe of Yvonne and her marathon victory. Yvonne, you are the Team's inspiration to complete these miles and #BeatAML. Congrats, finisher! teapawt.net/OHSUKnight/status/9381…

Sixteen-year-old AML patient Yvonne crossed the finish line of her marathon yesterday! Patients on @OHSUDoernbecher's 10S are encouraged to log their walks around the unit and track their progress: 628 laps equal one marathon. Our patients inspire us every day!

“I first joined TNT in 2009, after surviving a bout with Hodgkin's...I had my final chemo treatment on June 10, 2008. 11 days later, we got married on schedule, and then in 2009, I completed my first marathon while running for TNT to help others with cancer.” We <3 you, Matt.
