Day 26 - Inflammatory Breast Cancer Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) is a rare, aggressive breast cancer that often causes redness, swelling, and skin changes instead of a lump. More research is urgently needed to improve outcomes and save lives. Don’t ignore stage IV. #METober

Does anyone actually expect this Epstein pal piece of shit to care about a woman who was raped as a child?
Trump: Amy Acton's mother said horrible things about Amy Acton and I don't know why you're not allowed to broadcast it. That one ad should really win. Q: What about what the daughter said about the mother? Trump: I don’t know what she said. Q: That the mother remained with the stepfather who sexually abused her. Trump: When did she make that statement? Recently? Q: Years ago. Trump: I have no idea. All I know is, Amy Acton's mother said horrible things about Amy Acton. She’s fair game.

إليك رد جورج كلوني بعد أن اتهمه ترامب بأنه "نخبة هوليوود". "الأمر هكذا: نشأت في كنتاكي. بعت تأمينات من باب إلى باب. بعت أحذية للسيدات. عملت في متجر خمور مفتوح طوال الليل. كنت أشتري بدلات كبيرة جداً وطويلة جداً وأقطع أسفل بناطيلها لأصنع منها ربطات عنق حتى أملك ربطة عنق لأذهب في مقابلات العمل. نشأت وأنا أفهم كيف يكون الأمر بدون تأمين صحي لثماني سنوات. لذا هذه الفكرة بأنني بطريقة ما "نخبة هوليوود" وهذا الرجل الذي يتبرز في مرحاض ذهبي هو بطريقة ما رجل الشعب، هي أمر مضحك. أهل هوليوود، في الغالب، هم أشخاص من الغرب الأوسط الذين انتقلُوا إلى هوليوود ليحصلوا على مهنة. لذا هذه الفكرة بـ"النخب الساحلية" التي تعيش في فقاعة هي سخيفة. من يعيش في فقاعة أكبر؟ هو يعيش في برج ذهبي ولديه اثنا عشر شخصاً في شركته. هو لا يدير شركة تضم مئات الآلاف من الأشخاص الذين يوظفهم ويعتني بهم. هو دَبَّر شركة من اثني عشر شخصاً! عندما تُخرج فيلماً، لديك سبع نقابات مختلفة كل واحدة تريد أشياء مختلفة، يجب عليك إيجاد إجماع مع الجميع، ويجب أن تحرِّكهم جميعاً في الاتجاه نفسه. هو لم يضطر أبداً للقيام بأي من تلك الأمور. أنا فقط أنظر إليها وأضحك عندما أسمعه يقول "نخبة هوليوود". نخبة هوليوود؟ ليس لدي نجمة على ممشى هوليوود، دونالد ترامب لديه نجمة على ممشى هوليوود! Fuck you!" - جورج كلوني مُمثل، وناشط

Day 11 - Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. Ribbons in October aren’t enough. We need metastatic research to deliver effective, well-tolerated treatments—and save lives around the world. Don’t ignore stage IV. #metavivor #METober

Breast cancer is not a single entity; there are 3 major subtypes and even more molecular subtypes. All can metastasize. They can mutate and switch from one to another (I have at least 2 now, after almost 13 years) MBC is complex. Research saves lives. Don’t ignore stage IV.

My patient has breast cancer. I’m her doctor. I’m in network with her insurance. She wants me to perform her surgery. And yet, after denying our request for me to operate at the facility where I believe she can receive the safest care, @redbudsurgerycenter, her insurance company contacted her and directed her to another doctor. A patient navigating cancer already has enough decisions to make. She should not have to defend her choice of physician because of a disagreement over where that physician operates. Trying to tell a doctor where they can operate is invasive enough. But telling a patient with cancer that she should see a different surgeon, when she has already chosen the doctor she trusts to care for her? That has gone way too far.

Last week, someone said to me: “We should all be living like we’re dying.” Today Abigail (@AMJohnston1315) writes, “Every day is a second chance.” A terminal diagnosis is a reality most will never fully understand. But its lessons about kindness, forgiveness, love & how we choose to live can belong to all of us. #bcsm #metastaticbreastcancer
