The province needs to ensure quality along with quantity. Thank you to the nurse for speaking out. Troubling that they have fear of reprisal - perhaps that’s the root of the problem.

This animation was an inordinate amount of work. Was it the best use of my time? Hmm. But once I had the idea I was compelled to give it a go. And what’s life for if not for satisfying creative whimsy?

Navigating Patient Vulnerability During Medical Procedures

Recently, I had my ninth (9th) procedure since my Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) diagnosis in 2017; it was the third procedure involving a port and the sixth (6th) or maybe seventh (7th) location. Many details aren’t at my fingertips or at the top of my mind, but I’ve learned a lot since 2017 about myself and my body. And so I often have to ask for adjustments from the norm, something that is received in different ways by different health care workers and in different contexts. Last Thursday, as has happened to me several times, I was awake during a medical procedure.

Canadians need to talk about cancer screening

Canada’s cancer screening guidelines lag far behind the latest science, and Canadians are paying with their lives.

So apparently the government asked a group of experts in EBM to review the work of the task force and based on that review the government has asked the task force to pause their work for a month.

Shiela Appavoo MD @shielaappavoo.bsky.social · Mar 8

The pause on the Task Force was the result of an External Experts Review (EER) by a panel of many well qualified individuals, including family docs and population specialists. www.canada.ca/en/public-he...

Ask yourself why the critical context of that EER is not mentioned in the letter… 🤔

A temporary pause can create space for expert voices and improved approaches to come forward. Let’s hope this pause leads to meaningful changes that prioritize early detection and better outcomes for all. #CanSky #CancerBS #BreastCancer #BreastDensity

I've heard of people buying Canadian flags from Amazon and other places. The best place to get your flag is from the legion (NEVER AMAZON). That way your money is going to help real Canadian veterans.

Very important pause! Breast cancer screening and surveillance guidelines should be based on modern science. Thanks @kwadrans.ca! Our voices matter!

I’m proud to have played a part in advocating for the changes announced today by Health Minister Mark Holland. The Canadian Task Force’s work is paused pending the External Expert Panel’s report on CTF’s structure and processes. This brings us closer to saving thousands of Canadian lives each year.

You’re absolutely right—more funding and research for metastatic breast cancer is critical, and early detection isn’t a guarantee
