T3: We love to hear from more patients, though, and would be interested in others' answers - what is missing from your toolbox? How can organizations help? We're here and listening!! #patientchat

T4A4: Access, DEI, awareness of resources, language, culture, lack of education, fear/anxiety... Barriers have many faces. Most predominantly it looks like a lack of access - to information, medical providers, and information that meets them where they are. #patientchat #cancer

A4 the hardest barrier is defining what exactly does empowerment mean. is it simply asking questions, is it being able to discuss in great detail with your team medications. what is empowerment? #PatientChat

CT: Time to start sharing closing thoughts (CT) on what you learned, were reminded of, or can implement. Start your tweet w/ CT: #PatientChat

A4 remembering & accepting that empowerment is not a state, it's a verb. one must be willing to advocate, actively listen (shutting ones mouth), and believe there is always more to learn. #PatientChat

I would add keeping your voice is also important. Don't change for clicks or likes, tell your story in your own voice. Build it and they will come. #PatientChat

CT: Empowerment, like treatment, is not one size fits all. Each person has to define for themselves what they need. And, it's tough for many of us, but it is worth the discomfort to feel like you have a voice - that is so important. #patientchat
