Let’s talk about why emergency departments are full. We’re going to use Mary as an example. Mary is a completely fictional patient. Let’s say Mary is 72. Her family doctor retired 5 years ago. She’s in the ED after a fall “weak and dizzy” (we see this a lot.)

Hiya #BTSM I'm Emily from Ontario, 🇨🇦. Gr 4 astro patient, patient advocate and research partner, and member of the #BTSM chat organizing committee. ...I'm not actually here. I pre-programmed tweets since I'm actually at the Toronto Maple Leafs game. Will check in later! Go Leafs go!

T1 - #BTSM chat I had to dig deep to find this, but my first #BTSM chat was in Nov 2018! I participate to connect with the entire neurooncology community. Favourite parts are learning and meeting new folks and passing off my lived experience to help others.

T2 #BTSM chat - I use LinkedIn for employment activities and FB & IG to stay in touch with friends and see funny pet videos. Twitter is mainly for brain cancer stuff, and recently downloaded BlueSky since the folks at SNO suggested that that was their preferred platform.

#BTSM chat T4 - I'm hoping for consistency, engagement, and lots of learning! Personal - I want to advocate for broader access to vorasidenib (currently off-label for high grade/recurrence/pre-treated, etc - I think anyone with IDHm should have access to try) Servier Pharmaceuticals

45 years ago Today, Terry Fox, a 21-year-old Canadian who lost a leg to cancer, began his Marathon of Hope—a cross-country run to raise funds and awareness for cancer research He ran 5,373 km in 143 days before cancer forced him to end his bold journey.

In May 2023, a glioblastoma (GBM) in my brain was diagnosed following a seizure then brain scans and surgery. A recent MRI brain scan shows the recurrent tumour is still there and it's getting tougher to treat. But I’m not ready to give up on it yet. I feel lucky to have a team
