For those dealing with the treatment-induced, menopause-y side effects of treatment for HR+ breast cancer like hot flashes and REALLY crappy sleep, this is a very interesting (and hopeful!) study

In @nytopinion.bsky.social “My son’s life depends on government assistance,” writes Rachel Roth Aldhizer. “Recent cuts to Medicaid at both the federal and state levels mean millions of families like mine could soon be at a loss for how to care for our disabled loved ones.”

The uncertainty around the future of Medicaid is paralyzing for families like mine.

A pleasure and an honor to join @fumikochino.bsky.social & Dr. Ethan Ludmir in this @ascocancer.bsky.social conversation on incomplete reporting and toxicity- minimizing language in oncology! 💗

Fumiko Ladd Chino, MD FASCO @fumikochino.bsky.social · Jul 21

“When choosing cancer therapies, people should not have to choose between being alive & living”

🚨CMS just announced a model to introduce new #priorauthorization barriers to Traditional Medicare (which classically hasn't faced any).

We need less #priorAuth, not more.

Don't let this title fool you.
This is a "fix" for a problem that doesn't exist.
