| Alicia C. Staley @stales RT @DrAttai: T1 most of the articles I saw were anti-war narrative, but many patients in my practice use it. Also "journey" #bcsm |

 | Social✽Fly @socflyny @garmischgirl @ajumathew_ @itsthebunk @DrAttai @stales I loathe that word (thanks, The Bachelor/Bachelorette) but referring to cancer, it's even worse. #bcsm |
 | #Survivor3x ✌💚🕉🐾 @chigrl13 Hi from Hermosa Beach, CA #breastcancersurvivor3x #bcsm |
| Anne Marie Mercurio @chemobrainfog Hearing someone say, "I don't want my family to think I stopped trying" --that did it for me. AS if we have control?? #bcsm |

| Christina Lizaso @btrfly12 Hi #bcsm ( note - if you are on Twitter v. a chat tool you might miss some tweets - been an issue lately ) |
| Kimberli S. Cox MD @kimberli_coxmd @stales @Elissa_Malcohn Embarrassed to admit that our logo says "taking the journey with you" #bcsm |
| Alicia C. Staley @stales @stage4kelly hi there #bcsm |
| Anne Marie Mercurio @chemobrainfog Good one! RT @stage4kelly: Hi all, checking in late. Love this meme about "journey" #BCSM https://t.co/1gbdKtr1tq |
| Alicia C. Staley @stales @chemobrainfog exactly - it's very hard! #bcsm |
| Rod Ritchie @malefitness T1 A battle implies an enemy, since cancer is part of you, are you fighting yourself? #bcsm |
| Alicia C. Staley @stales RT @BrstCanSrvMicki: For some, battle or warrior is empowering, for others not so much. We get to choose our personal descriptor. #bcsm |
| Kathy Gori @kathygori @stage4kelly LOVE ❤️ this! #bcsm |
| Dr_Dana @Dr_Dana @kimberli_coxmd @stales @Elissa_Malcohn But many women feel very comforted by that promise. #bcsm |
| Anne Marie Mercurio @chemobrainfog This speaks to my feelings: RT @malefitness: T1 A battle implies an enemy, since cancer is part of you, are you fighting yourself? #bcsm |
| Elissa Malcohn (is this thing on?) 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 @Elissa_Malcohn T1 During pre-dx tests+throughout chemo, watched this clip repeatedly ("We Fight" scene from movie Red Tails) https://t.co/nJWAduXbEj #bcsm |
| Alicia C. Staley @stales T1a: With the focus on McCain as a war hero & "warrior" - does the press coverage set up unrealistic expectations for him and others? #bcsm |
 | Dr. Lillian Erdahl MD @LillianErdahlMD Hi #bcsm @DrAttai @stales Breast Surgeon from Iowa listening in |
| Social✽Fly @socflyny @stage4kelly Yes!! I need to create a meme for my fave: "If cancer is a gift, why won't Nordstrom exchange it for a new pair of shoes?" #bcsm |

| Alicia C. Staley @stales @lillianerdahl hi there #bcsm |
| Lisa Rice #MaskUp (she/her) @LisaDTRice #BCSM As patient navigator (mom & a friend) and advocate for #cancer survivors, yes. Words matter. Battle, warrior, etc., aren't for all. |
| Alicia C. Staley @stales --- RT @UppityCancerP: I think of living with cancer as détente; we live side by side. I'm good with that #bcsm |
| Kathy Gori @kathygori T1.. I did get obsessed w/ the civil war while dealing w/ it the first time. Ken Burns show was airing on PBS back in '90... never #bcsm |
| Alicia C. Staley @stales @DrSGraff hi there! #bcsm |
| Rod Ritchie @malefitness T1a Yes. You either die of the disease, or with it. You never beat it. #bcsm |
| Nancy's Point @NancysPoint T1 - One war metaphor that needs to go is when someone dies & then it's said, so and so "lost her/his battle". https://t.co/BpGMrs4FeO #bcsm |
| Social✽Fly @socflyny @Elissa_Malcohn More like 'down the rabbit hole' ... that's how I've been referring to it eight years later. #bcsm |
| Howard Karpoff @doctorkarpoff But isn't the creation of the metaphor itself a striving for understanding by those who do not understand? #bcsm |
| Alicia C. Staley @stales RT @malefitness: T1a Yes. You either die of the disease, or with it. You never beat it. #bcsm |
| Dr. Kelly Shanahan @stage4kelly I wish I was a hobbit - or really an elf, like Galadriel or Arwen, but Galadriel was more badass. #bcsm |
| Beth Caldwell @CultPerfectMoms RT @NancysPoint: T1 - One war metaphor that needs to go is when someone dies & then it's said, so and so "lost her/his battle". https://t.co/BpGMrs4FeO #bcsm |
| Kathy Gori @kathygori T1, never understood it at the time but now I'm thinking that it might have been me feeling that my body had turned against me #bcsm |

| Elissa Malcohn (is this thing on?) 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 @Elissa_Malcohn T1 I do not pair "warrior" w/"lost the battle" + assoc. negativity. Friend of mine just died. She didn't lose; she was a casualty. #bcsm |

 | IBC Research Fdn @IBCResearch Ginny here...Sorry for jumping in late. Been on the phone with someone looking for a #clinicaltrial..exhausting! #bcsm |
| Social✽Fly @socflyny @MaverickNY She really had quite a following. Her husband and kids are doing really well from what I've seen on FB. She really prepared them. #bcsm |
| Beth Caldwell @CultPerfectMoms RT @stage4kelly: @BrstCanSrvMicki @CultPerfectMoms MBC patient, person with MBC, living with MBC are all good by me.#bcsm |
| Rod Ritchie @malefitness @akknowles1 True, that's why cancer isn't a battle. #bcsm |
| Dennis Keim @denniskeim @IBCResearch Hey, Ginny! #bcsm |
| Jamie Holloway, PhD @jamienholloway They're lucky to have your help, Ginny-- that's a tough job! Glad you could pop in tonight. #bcsm https://t.co/i6pZaHXlsp |
| Alicia C. Staley @stales @socflyny i disagree - it takes courage and resolve of a different kind to deal with cancer. #bcsm |
| Dennis Keim @denniskeim RT @CultPerfectMoms: @BrstCanSrvMicki Totally fine with me! Or even, person with MBC. I like people-first language. #bcsm |
| Dr. Kelly Shanahan @stage4kelly @UppityCancerP @kathygori @itsthebunk Excellent!! This metaphor gets 2 👍🏻👍🏻 #bcsm |
| Kathy Gori @kathygori @IBCResearch Hi! #bcsm |
| Nancy's Point @NancysPoint Right! RT @stage4kelly: @malefitness @NancysPoint Passed is something you do in a car, and hope the police aren't around! #bcsm |
| Alicia C. Staley @stales RT @doctorkarpoff: Metaphors: Metaphors: some may arise from descriptions like "Chemo kills cancer" or your "natural defenses mobilize..." Very battle like #bcsm |
| nancy @uvmer @akknowles1 sorry...don't want you to feel like a loser no matter how people refer to cancer. ❤️ #bcsm |
| Dr. Kelly Shanahan @stage4kelly @Canceronthejob And that's a good phrase -dealing with breast cancer (or MBC) #bcsm |
| Beth Caldwell @CultPerfectMoms @stage4kelly @malefitness @NancysPoint There's also a religious element to the word "passed," the implication being that they passed into the next world/life. I'm an athiest #bcsm |
| Dr. Lillian Erdahl MD @LillianErdahlMD @CultPerfectMoms @BrstCanSrvMicki Yes, I like the idea of people first language, just like I saying person with diabetes instead of diabetic #bcsm |
| Anne Marie Mercurio @chemobrainfog Shame on @Newsweek for this "and who refuse to succumb to the disease" #bcsm https://t.co/yeUGrM2TMe |
| Dr_Dana @Dr_Dana @BrstCanSrvMicki That about covers it. #bcsm |

| Cancer on the Clock @canceronthejob @CultPerfectMoms @stage4kelly @kathygori Sarcasm got me through all that BS. #bcsm |
| Elissa Malcohn (is this thing on?) 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 @Elissa_Malcohn THIS MT @itsthebunk: just like anything w/Life + Cancer - it's complicated Doing what you're scared of in spite of the fear is courage #bcsm |

| Beth Caldwell @CultPerfectMoms @BrstCanSrvMicki I'll be honest: I'm starting to believe we need separate programs for MBC vs. those who have had early stage disease. #bcsm |
| Kimberli S. Cox MD @kimberli_coxmd @stales Need Twitter lesson - any way to save a transcript so I can show my partners the responses about "journey"? #bcsm |

| Dennis Keim @denniskeim @Canceronthejob That was pretty much my process too. Just keep working the problem. One foot after the next. #bcsm |
| Alicia C. Staley @stales @kimberli_coxmd yes - i can send you the transcript #bcsm |

| Elissa Malcohn (is this thing on?) 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 @Elissa_Malcohn IMHO part of difficulty lies in how words get co-opted+minimized. Mary Daly addressed this w/"love" vs. "luv" as concepts. #bcsm |
| Dr_Dana @Dr_Dana I hope no matter what words are used,folks can absorb the intent behind them.Encouragement. #bcsm |
| Dr. Kelly Shanahan @stage4kelly @itsthebunk But I don't think I'm strong, or courageous, or a hero - I'm just doing what I have to do, given this shitty MBC diagnosis. #bcsm |
