I would be very interested in longitudinal studies measuring lung cancer rates as well, given #BCCancer 's findings linking pm2.5 exposure and #lungcancer. And the links between #cancer and inflammation are still being explored as well #lcsm

As a regular patient of BCcancer and hospital visits emergency and otherwise it sickens me to see how nurses and first responders are treated by some far far too many
No cure for me but for however long I get to go on because of the amazing care I will always treat the above with kindness & respect

Participating in the IDEAL (improving detection of early lung cancer) study for the BC Cancer Breathomics lab at VGH! Breath test & bronchoscopy which will help researchers! They are still seeking volunteers for these studies!

I am going to pick up my cancer meds from a BC Cancer centre in a couple of days. The pharmacy office is right next to the chemo waiting room. I'll count how many people are wearing masks. My guess is: fewer then half of patients, and almost no staff members. We shall see!

Yesterday we broke ground on Nanaimo’s new BC Cancer Centre — bringing life-saving care like chemo & radiation closer to home for Island families.
Huge thanks to the healthcare teams, advocates, community & trades.
