$67k. Chemoradiation is expensive. This is 1 bill.
If you're able, (and *please* only if you are), every contribution helps. If not liking and sharing this post as far and wide as possible increases the chances of it reaching someone who can spare a bit.

Vorasidenib improves response to subsequent chemoradiation in a genetically engineered mouse model of IDH-mutant glioma
A genetic mouse model of IDH-mutant glioma responds to mutant IDH inhibitor (mIDHi) and shows that prior mIDHi treatment improves response to chemoradiation.

When my great-aunt was undergoing chemoradiation in 2012, we wore surgical masks to visit or help with errands. We also avoided high-transmission locations for ~a week before visiting.

One of the most irksome part of Vinay Prasad's anti-mask activism, including mocking individuals choosing to wear masks, is that he's an oncologist by training.
It was standard before Covid for some patients oncologists treated to need to wear masks.

I'm wearing an N95 mask right now to protect my health when I'm in public because chemoradiation shot my immune system to pieces.
So does FELON Trump's order include people like me?
Does it include those with asthma during wildfire season?
And what about Trump's mask-wearing ICE Nazis?

Throat/Tonsil cancer here too. 2 surgeries. The tumor came back, inoperable. I'm 3 weeks out of chemoradiation treatments. I had an infusion of fluids this morning.
IF chemoradiation is part of your treatment plan, see if you can get a port. It's awesome.

I 'm not shocked that I'm stressed.
I've fought cancer for 17 months. I'm recovering from 2 months of chemoradiation. I'm moving. Friends keep getting laid off.

The past week I've had regular nightmares and burst into tears at the drop of a hat.

Did y’all know chemoradiation was a real thing ?
I didn’t, I really hope when they remove my entire reproductive system there’s zero cancer cells left because holy shit I do not want it.
To be clear I will have it if I need it, but I really hope it’s all removable with just surgery.
