@EK_Drake My AYA daughter is 2 yrs OT for T-Cell ALL and deals with extensive AVN and other tx effects. I see a huge need for better tx and supportive care. AYAs are biologically different from young children and older adults. They also have much diff psychosocial needs. #AYACSM

As underfunded as peds cancer is, AYA cancer funding is nonexistent. Social media helps us spread the word about this need outside our immediate circle. Without it, info flow would stall #AYACSM

@michelerhee I seriously can't decide if I NEED to hang out with you or if I should hide from you. Either way... #AYACSM

RT @TCellALLMom: Such a big barrier! I want to learn all I can and advocate until the issues are common knowledge and change happens. #AYACSM

@EK_Drake @ImermanAngels @JonnyImerman @ImermanAngels was actually my first involvement as an AYA advocate ... I was one of the first angels in 2006!! #13years - I can’t believe it! Can you @JonnyImerman?! #ayacsm
Emily K. Drake @EK_Drake
@cancergirl730 @michelerhee Should "Either way... #AYACSM" be our new slogan? LOL! :)

@PerriTutelman @EK_Drake @DalNews @IWKHealthCentre I think pain is disregarded at times. We certainly don't want to add to the opiod crisis, but to ignore it is cruel. My daughter said her bones throbbed inside. She felt that in every spot that now has AVN #AYACSM

@EK_Drake @allieemorse @lpackard @TheSamfundCEO @tamikafelder @JonnyImerman @mAssKicker1 RIGHT?!? @JonnyImerman is my favorite hugger ever. Literally, whenever I describe him to anyone or introduce him to anyone, I say that he is THE BEST HUGGER. BECAUSE HE IS. #AYACSM https://t.co/eYe8lFtpFg

@EK_Drake @michelerhee YES! Totally! Either way.... #AYACSM

@DrBral @ImermanAngels @JonnyImerman I kind of wish his twitter account automatically posted "I don't read my twitter; no disrespect :)" to every @ he gets as per his bio #AYACSM

@EK_Drake @ViolentKuchar I felt intense pressure during treatment to make everyone around me feel better. It was as exhausting as the chemo! In survivorship, I've been able to give myself space to feel angry, bitter, pissed, & so gosh darn negative. #ayacsm
Judy Fulmer @TCellALLMom
@EK_Drake Cost is a big factor in a lot of things, isn't it? #AYACSM
Michele Rhee @michelerhee
@cancergirl730 A lot of people feel that way. A LOT. That's how I've made a lot of my best friends...through a combination of fear and attraction. #AYACSM https://t.co/gqcHfs3GUs

I didn't get to half of my questions. It somehow turned into a @JonnyImerman appreciation hour (which we are all okay with). I hope in the end we all enjoyed the connections which is what #AYACSM is all about! Thanks for sharing your wisdom! We will be back April 2nd at 8pm ET!
Emily K. Drake @EK_Drake

@EK_Drake Shifting boundaries. Ethical responsibilities of influence. Acknowledging what privileges make out story more accessible to a wider audience (language, education, race, etc.) #AYACSM
Michele Rhee @michelerhee
@TCellALLMom @EK_Drake I hate that patients & families can't afford to go to the very meetings & conferences that are supposedly about them. It's so frustrating & nonsensical. #AYACSM https://t.co/9dHBoxjaB8
