All #pediatric #cancers are #rarecancers and there are MANY of them, per @seattlechildrens.org pathologist Dr. Christopher Sande, who focuses on soft tissue #sarcomas. And MANY of these cancers have subtypes. #rarecancersymposium @fredhutch.org #CanSky

Forget about Friday the 13th because today is your lucky day - that's because it's #ACSFriday5 Day!
Here are five new papers from ACS researchers that we think are worth checking out this week:

I don’t mind the blood draws, but scheduling labs, scans and doctor visits for three separate days seems rude. #oncosky #cansky #MBC
Hey #Cansky it’s been a tiresome 24 hours.
The good: My Dr. last week told me to him my 6 month scans looked good to him and also his resident. Scheduled my next 6 month scans.
Yesterday got my official results in. The good: no evidence of metastatic disease. The “weird” news though….
Machine learning can search for patterns in large genetic datasets to identify cancer, but its methods are difficult for clinicians to discern. Researchers recently used statistics to clarify how these models make breast cancer predictions.

New #art project to distract and alleviate boredom. Involves felting, inspired by an 80s craft book.
Hopefully the outcome would not need to be kept in that decade 😆
I’ll keep you updated on progress (crafting, not #cancer that is)

Overwhelm trick: ask “What is the smallest thing that would make today 10% easier?” Not 100%. Just 10%. A shower chair, a nap, a meal shortcut, asking someone to pick up groceries, moving one appointment, saying no. Symptom care is practical, not heroic. #CancerCoachUSA #cansky #oncosky
Neuropathy coping basics (general): protect hands/feet from extreme temps, consider gentle range-of-motion, and note what worsens symptoms (tight shoes, long standing, low sleep). Track intensity and timing. New or worsening symptoms warrant a call to a clinician. #CancerCoachUSA #cansky #oncosky
Track intensity and timing. New or worsening numbness, burning, or weakness deserves a clinician call, especially if it changes quickly. #CancerCoachUSA #cansky #oncosky
Symptom tracking that actually helps (simple):
What symptom is loudest?
What time did it spike?
What happened right before (activity, stress, food, sleep)?
What helped even 5%?
Bring that page to your next visit and say, “Here’s what I’m noticing.” #CancerCoachUSA #cansky #oncosky
Pain + fatigue can get louder when you’ve been still too long, but “push through” isn’t the answer either. Try a 3-minute reset: gentle movement, change position, slow breathing, then reassess. Small is valid. If pain is new, severe, or changing fast, call your care team. #CancerCoachUSA #cansky
Brain fog care is often about reducing decisions. Write the next 3 steps down, not the whole plan. Set one timer. Do one task. Pause. When your brain is overloaded, “simple and repeatable” beats “perfect and complicated.” You’re not lazy. You’re recovering. #CancerCoachUSA #cansky #oncosky
Quick fatigue strategy: stop at 70%, not 0%. Leaving a little energy in the tank protects tomorrow. If you wait until you’re wiped out, recovery takes longer. Build “micro-rests” into the day (5–10 minutes) before your body forces a full stop. #CancerCoachUSA #cansky #oncosky #cancer
I hate everything about my post cancer body (other than the fact that it's still alive). #cansky
