#lcsm T1: for us, it's all about doing our best to raise funds for research. We were founded by a performing artist and LC survivor, and she believes in turning to the skillsets we already have in order to fundraise. Harnessing skillsets is a big part of advocacy.
Dr. Jan Marie Eberth @jmeberth
T1: To me, cancer advocacy is using a platform to raise issues of inequity in cancer care, amplify survivors voices and needs, and cause a ruckus when one needs to be made! #LCSM I often find my message is similar no matter the cancer I’m being interviewed about...

T4 It's my whole life. No reason to equivocate. I'm a full-time caregiver, everything else on hold, so helping others get through where we've been has given a direction and purpose to the hours when I'm not helping my folks. Feels like a super-expertise: 24/7 practice. #lcsm

RT @TriageCancer: T5 We have free resources available to help people find the advocacy role/tasks most suited to them (their preferences, time, skills, etc). We also try and explain different advocacy options, so that they can understand the potential impact. See: https://t.co/Og0G46Vr5I #lcsm

@JFreemanDaily Boundaries? We're externally expected to advocate on behalf of our patients, but often internally the expectations differ. I often wish both were more aligned, or at least realistically portrayed. #lcsm T3
