Ever wondered what keeps a late-screened cancer patient alive? This + meds only from hospital: Trastuzumab (Herceptin), Pertuzumab (Perjeta), and zoledronic acid (Zometa). Thanks to cancer research, I’m still alive @terryfoxfoundation.bsky.social, I’m still alive. But we need to #ScreenBetterCanada
Yess! The Honorable Mark Holland, Minister of Health has instructed the PHAC to pause the work of Canadian Task Force on Preventative Health Care until the External Expert Review panel finalizes its recommendations on the Task Force's structure and processes. Our voices matter!

Had a powerful advocacy moment at La Vie en Rose. Mentioned being too young for a mammogram, surprising the salesperson—an aspiring nurse. I explained the flaws in provincial and 🇨🇦 guidelines. She shared that they promote self-exams at any age. Love to see it, AB nursing! #ScreenBetterCanada

I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. We desperately need better cancer screening in Canada. Condolences to her family and friends.

Agree. Doctors who don’t want to screen aren’t doing their job.

Thank you for listening to breast cancer experts and patients with lived experience. Your actions today will save lives, not just for breast cancer, but all screening guidelines. This is a monumental day for Canadians health. #ScreenBetterCanada

Yes! Thank you @markhollandlib “I’m concerned & disappointed. The guidelines that have been released by the Task Force, simply stated, don’t conform with the conversations I’ve had with experts across the country.” #ScreenBetterCanada

Interesting comment from panelist: we need better screening for Canadians, at any age and any location. This was not in relation to breast cancer but to cancers in general. Having the patient perspective is critical. @cantaskforce #TFRI10SM #ScreenBetterCanada
And @cantaskforce - most of Canada has figured out that screening at #40not50 saves lives. #ScreenBetterCanada

Thank you, @Liz_ORiordan for showing women how easy it is. It’s upsetting w/ docs say the harms of a mammo outweigh the benefits. Seeing you smile throughout the process goes to show that it is really “that simple”. I hope @cantaskforce will watch this #ScreenBetterCanada

Just think about how many people are affected by their work? It’s mind boggling! Yet, it has an anti-screening bias!
Don’t take my word for it. Listen to my short video t/ includes the Chair of t/ Task Force talking about screening in general. Link 👇🧵⅔ #ScreenBetterCanada
2 days ago, I made a video re: my concerns w/ @cantaskforce . They are responsible for screening guidelines for most medical issues in Canada, from breast to lung to prostate cancer & for non-cancer med. issues such as postpartum depression & obesity. #ScreenBetterCanada 🧵⅓
We can do better for our Canadian citizens #screenbettercanada

I hope the @GovCanHealth will hold the @cantaskforce accountable now that more voices across specialties and patients come together to demand better screening #ScreenBetterCanada
