#OOTD hitting the Capitol to fight for passage of #HR2408 Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act, and preservation of Medicaid & cancer research $ with #NBCCSummit

With research dollars evaporating with every Sharpie stroke, we’re fighting for our lives.

I am a Michigander and am reliant on SSDI since my metastatic breast cancer forced me to stop working at the age of 51. Please keep fighting hard to preserve Social Security payments, as well as Medicaid & Medicare; it is life-preserving support.

Right? This is what so many folk don’t realize—these cuts, even IF restored, are going to create lag-effect harms for an entire generation of #metastaticbc patients. With an average 2-4yr survival after MBC diagnosis, delays of months getting new drugs is lethal.

💡 Clinical Tip: In MBC (esp. HER2+ & TNBC), discuss brain metastasis risk proactively — patient-centered dialogue is key while awaiting trial evidence.
