T1. Kelly, metastatic breast cancer patient & advocate joining late. We should be involved in every stage of trial design. We know what's important to us in terms of outcomes and side effects. #patientchat

T5. I think the question should be how can patients find out about opportunities to contribute more. Is there a registry for patients who want to be involved? I know the metastasis research society has one, but what about others? #patientchat

And there's a difference between patients attending conferences and being included in conferences. I go to a lot of conferences were patients attend but very few were patients are truly partners #patientchat

T3. I'm a patient AND a doctor, so I get the hurdles of regulations and how time consuming science can be, but as a patient I understand the urgency. I know we can think outside the box to make change happen. #PatientChat

T4. Have patients as equal partners on the planning committee - involve us from day one for a richer, more meaningful conference for everyone #PatientChat

T1: set up google alerts for your disease so you can keep up with what’s new #patientchat

T2: for my personal health I’m committing to eating better and exercising more - and am scheduling workouts/classes in my calendar to prioritize them. #patientchat

T3: learn everything you can about your disease. Your doc may be an expert in medicine but you’re an expert in you.if it’s advanced cancer, and you see a general onc, you may know more about your particular type of cancer than she does. #patientchat

T3: get a second opinion, especially if rare or advanced disease #patientchat

T1. As someone who practiced medicine for 25 years I’m guilty of using “compliance” mainly in the pejorative “pt is non-compliant” way. Now that I’m a #metastaticbreastcancer pt I know better and would use plain language (“pt not taking meds because....”) #patientchat

T3. Side effects, side effects, side effects. And cost. #patientchat

Storytelling has a unique way of identifying with the audience. Its one thing to offer words, or present industry perspectives, but to share a personal journey is to connect with PEOPLE. #Patientchat #WTFix
