I've been writing about my cancer since I was diagnosed nearly a year ago. I was largely writing for myself, but a couple of posts aimed to help people in a similar situation.
I'm not sure why I didn't post them using the #cancer tag, so I'll do that now inspired by the article I posted in my last toot which I really think is great.

El Hospital Infanta Leonor inicia la sexta edición del 'Camino de esperanza' para pacientes con cáncer de mama 🚶♀️🏥
Un grupo de 18 mujeres tratadas de cáncer de mama en el Hospital público Universitario Infanta Leonor, acompañadas de profesionales, han iniciado esta semana el Camino de Santiago en la sexta edición del ‘Camino de esperanza’, una iniciativa organizada cada dos años por este centro hospitalario como experiencia terapéutica para normalizar la vida de estas pacientes.
Este año recorrerán en grupo alrededor de 100 kilómetros del “Camino Inglés”. El punto de partida escogido para el inicio del camino ha sido la localidad de Ferrol, y durante cinco etapas recorrerán una media de 20 kilómetros diarios hasta llegar a Santiago de Compostela el próximo sábado 30 de septiembre.

La desigualdad de género aumenta las muertes por cáncer de las mujeres en el mundo.
De los 2,3 millones de mujeres que mueren prematuramente por enfermedades oncológicas cada año, 1,5 millones de vidas podrían salvarse con la eliminación de factores de riesgo y la detección y el diagnóstico precoces. Otras 800 000 muertes podrían evitarse si ellas tuviesen acceso a una mejor atención médica.

There are so many types of fat in our diets and in our bodies—some good for us, some terrible. Meanwhile, new technology has discovered thousands of rapidly shifting fat molecules in the human body that impact nearly all aspects of #health and can help predict a person’s risk of everything from heart disease to #cancer making earlier treatments possible. Here’s a fascinating deep dive by a scientist who knows his fat.

Metabolomics of Gastrointestinal Cancers
"A new study shows that bats evolved to avoid cancer and the data may uncover how humans can treat or prevent viruses as well as cancer.
A rapid evolution in bats, the only winged mammal, may account for their “extraordinary” ability to both host and survive infections and even to avoid cancer—and that success is in their genes.
Bats are exceptional among mammals for not only their ability to fly but also their long lives, low cancer rates, and robust immune systems.
The ability of bats to tolerate viral infections may stem from unusual features of their innate immune response—and these characteristics may have implications for human health.
For example, by better understanding the mechanisms of the bat immune system that allow bats to tolerate viral infections, researchers may be better able to prevent disease outbreaks from animals to people."

Ischemic heart disease deaths increased during the first year, but have been more or less declining toward baseline since then. (Notably, ischemic heart disease is the only subgroup to have been on a downward trajectory pre-pandemic.)

Diabetes mortality has not been so quick to recover from first year spike, only beginning to decline in the second half of last year, though still well above pre-pandemic trend.
Deaths by sepsis were markedly down in 2019, following a coordinated national effort by hospitals. Despite this, sepsis mortality has been climbing at a rate well above even pre-2019’s relatively flat trendline, for over three years now.
Renal failure deaths didn’t see an appreciable climb until the latter part of 2021, peaking only months ago. Meanwhile, malignant neoplasm (cancer) deaths, slower to manifest, have been suggestively creeping above trend for well over a year.](https://assets.toot.cafe/cache/media_attachments/files/111/116/531/157/588/210/small/3d0c6ca8eb035353.png)
The type of cancer I had 9y ago is Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. In Jan, Molly Midgley in Sheffield was diagnosed with the same thing. In her name, friends and supporters are raising money for Salivary Gland Cancer UK, and some of them are running the Sheffield 10K tomorrow. I'll be there to shout them on.
If you have a couple of £, $ or € you can spare, every penny/cent supports research into this rare cancer. Thank you :)

A good friend of mine that I’ve been friends with for over 25yrs lost his dad to cancer tonight. I unfortunately know how he feels as I lost my mom to cancer+covid just a few years ago. Even so I still don’t know how to comfort him. I don’t think I’ve ever really recovered from my mom’s death.
As a child you expect to have to say goodbye to your parents at some point, but not when you’re still such a young adult. I just feel so helpless.

‘Melanoma Institute Australia has been at the forefront of treatments like immunotherapy, that have drastically improved survival rates for the deadly skin cancer.
‘Rather than go down the usual treatment path for glioblastoma of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, they decided to try to treat Professor Scolyer in a similar way to their melanoma patients…
‘Professor Scolyer was given immunotherapy, designed to activate the immune system to attack the cancer.
‘They also used the specific genome of his cancer to design a vaccine to target it.
‘Early results 'nothing short of phenomenal'
‘Twelve days after he was given the immunotherapy drugs, Professor Scolyer had surgery to have the bulk of his tumour removed.
‘It was then tested, to see if the drugs had an effect…
‘They found there was a 10-fold increase in the immune cells in the tumour, that they were activated against the cancer and they were bound to the drug.
‘"Proving something that we'd already shown in melanoma, that there is no blood brain barrier [as] historically conceptualised, preventing the drugs from reaching the tumour.”
‘"We could not have hoped for better results."
‘"I can only do this because I'm a cancer researcher and clinician and so inherently understand the risks.
‘"This treatment may extend or shorten my life."
‘They are hopeful it will lead to clinical trials.’

Chemo Brian
Chemo Brian make his rounds in the oncology ward.
DARK HUMOR!
(Yes, I had cancer.)
@MelodyWainscott @bassjobsen @stonebear
A #Washington hospital gave my mom, a #cancer patient, #COVID. Most people in the ED were unmasked, incl healthcare /staff. We were masked. A nurse removed my mom’s mask to take an oral temp and did not replace it. I returned from talking to family to find her on a gurney in a hallway filled with unmasked people. I replaced her mask.
She was admitted and 2 days later she was COVID+ . She declined very quickly after that.
There’s no legitimate excuse.
This is what happens when someone get Brian cancer. (Not a typo, by the way!!!)
This clip contains dark humor.
And yes, my cancer was in my brain.
I got an email from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society titled:
"Why nutrition is KEY for blood cancer patients 🍎"
Can you please tell this to Johns Hopkins???? Pretty please? The food service there stank, very very badly. I experienced the full ineptitude of it during my chemo.
Now, don't get me wrong. Johns Hopkins saved my life. I'm not being hyperbolic with this. I was on the verge of death when my chemo started.
It remains though that their food service sucked very badly. I'm not just talking about bad hospital food. (Which actually has been solved at other hospitals. Apparently, Johns Hopkins did not get the memo.) I'm talking about stupid service. Like food not getting to your room. Or your supper arriving at the same time as your lunch. (Sometimes I had to order supper together with lunch due to me undergoing a procedure and them not being open when I'd be back.) Or the wrong food being delivered.
Please tell Johns Hopkins. 😭

Combustion of cannabis, whether by smoking or vaping, releases particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs and cause tissue damage – the same as with tobacco.
The harms include impairments in blood vessel dilation, increased blood pressure and reduced heart function.

read it way before this #cancer scare am still in the middle of and let me tell you'nother sumthing:
🗣️ NOW I GET WHY SHE SAID SURVIVING & THRIVING IS POLITICAL WARFARE

but let me tell you something:

so, for the love of your life and those who love you:
🗣️ GET A MAMMOGRAM

347 cases out of a sample of 50,226 during ONLY 11.3 years of follow-up. The longer the exposure to smoke inhalation, the higher those rates will be.
"Elevated" (#cancer rates) compared to the average rates of cancers that occur in a population. The risk is accumulative in both time of exposure & exposure to other forms of air pollution.
The study ONLY focused on lung Cancer.
Wood smoke pollution increases ricks of heart attacks and dementia. https://www.dsawsp.org/health/health-effects
Cytotoxic T cells in the body recognize and kill #cancer cells but quickly lose their effectiveness.
This fast dysfunction may help explain why immunotherapy doesn’t lead to long-term remission for many patients – and might lead to techniques to revive the immune system.

#ProstateCancer is both common and over-treated. A #cancer genomics researcher describes her father’s journey after a diagnosis.
He was diagnosed with an intermediate-risk cancer – unlike many Black men, who are diagnosed later and more likely to see the cancer progress to aggressive forms of the disease.
