Thanks to Nicolas Hart for leading this important work!

As the weather cools Miss 14 pulls the school uniform girl's long pants out... and puts them back.

Me: Why not pants?
She: well... other kids say pants are trans and then they don't talk to you all day.

Thanks haters. Now even teen girls can't wear pants. Such 'feminism'.🤦🏻‍♀️

I think time to deterioration (TTD) is a reasonable QOL metric.

It is the PRO version of PFS/local control in my mind & also incorporates treatment toxicity/burden – i.e. aims to measure when a patient’s disease progression or side effects from therapy worsens their well-being…

Today feels like a good day to share my favorite C. S. Lewis quote:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's…

Survivorship comes with so many complex feelings. In the beginning I often felt like a ghost floating between worlds. That feeling still remains, but it isn’t as powerful now. However it’s easily something I can slip back into depending on what happens. It’s very strange. 🫂❤️‍🩹
