 | Shannon Westin, MD, MPH, FASCO @ShannonWestin Hey there! Gyn Onc from @mdandersonnews - happy to be here (a bit late!) #gyncsm #cancersm |

| Christina Lizaso @btrfly12 Wonderful to see everyone come together on tonight's #CancerSM - Excited to chat with both new and familiar faces. |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal @MyelomaTeacher You made it! Welcome Cindy. #CancerSM |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @gyncsm For me, I was working full time and in school for my masters, so I really had to prioritize my health. Cancer is super scary to hear, but the mental aspect is half of it! #bepositive #cancersm |
| Tanya Temkin @tanyaltee T1: i think of being able to do what I liked to do with my “old normal “—travel, go out in the evening to concerts, etc. Right now my consciousness is dominated by cancer related thoughts. #cancersm |
 | Hillary (Stires) Andrews, PhD @HillStirSci @gyncsm Hi! I’m Hillary. I was a basic research scientist for 9 years and have recently moved into health policy (thanks in large part to #bcsm). I’m also a @CancerAdvocacy #elevateambassador connecting basic research scientists and cancer patient advocates through @cancer_TAP! #cancersm |
| Nancy's Point @NancysPoint @gyncsm T1: Balance is really hard to find when dxd as cancer sorta takes over your life, yet it's impt to try to find some. #cancersm |
| Hillary (Stires) Andrews, PhD @HillStirSci RT @gyncsm: T1: T1: When you think about finding a balance in your life after a cancer-related or tumor-related diagnosis, what comes to mind? #cancersm |
| Susan Said Alghamdi @alghamdi_susan Thank you all for the warm and great welcoming #CancerSM |
| Bob Steele @steele_bob T1: We try to enjoy all the small moments, esp. w/kids & grandkids. #cancersm |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @HillStirSci @gyncsm @CancerAdvocacy @cancer_TAP Hey girl!! So glad to see you here! #cancersm |
| Christina Lizaso @btrfly12 T1: I always considered myself a previvor due to family history, but after the genetic mutation diagnosis I felt much more urgency to give my own health attention vs. career and young kids #CancerSM |
| @MyelomaTeacher - Cindy Chmielewski @MyelomaTeacher I try to find a balance of cancer related activities- treatment, advocacy, research.... and non- cancer related activities #cancersm |
| Maggie Rogers @magthenomad T1. It’s not so much about finding balance but more... rebalancing your scales. Cancer’s impacts are here to stay so it’s about trying to find ways to do your normal life with it always lingering on the sidelines. #cancersm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal @gyncsm T1 It is hard - It took a while after treatment ended to not wake up and have the first thing that came to mind be my cancer dx. So I tried to do things I enjoyed- and had the energy to do/ #CancerSM |
 | Billie Jo Bogden @BogdenJo RT @btrfly12: Wonderful to see everyone come together on tonight's #CancerSM - Excited to chat with both new and familiar faces. |
| Tanya Temkin @tanyaltee T1: ...and trying to move beyond being a patient to being an advocate #cancersm |
| Christina Lizaso @btrfly12 T1: When scan time comes up every six months, I find it hard to balance the anxiety with other priorities. #CancerSM |
| Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad RT @magthenomad: T1. It’s not so much about finding balance but more... rebalancing your scales. Cancer’s impacts are here to stay so it’s about trying to find ways to do your normal life with it always lingering on the sidelines. #cancersm |

| Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad RT @tanyaltee: T1: T1: ...and trying to move beyond being a patient to being an advocate #cancersm |
| Susan Said Alghamdi @alghamdi_susan I think it is a team work between clinician , patients and health educators , family also plays an important role in the treatment plan #CancerSM |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @btrfly12 Yes! I have to get my blood tested every 3 months! I share that same anxiety. #cancersm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal That is a difficult time for me too. #CancerSM |

| @MyelomaTeacher - Cindy Chmielewski @MyelomaTeacher @carlyflumer @btrfly12 I have been getting lab work every 4-6 weeks for the last 11 years . I still get nervous awaiting the results #cancersm |
| Tanya Temkin @tanyaltee T2: I’m childless and did my elder care before cancer onset #cancersm |
| Nancy's Point @NancysPoint T1: Finding balance means something different to each of us. #cancersm |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @gyncsm Keep a calendar handy! Between work and all of my doctors appts, it can be hard to keep track. Also, your workplace should understand and be willing to give you the time to attend appts and mental health days. #cancersm |
| Hillary (Stires) Andrews, PhD @HillStirSci @carlyflumer @gyncsm @CancerAdvocacy @cancer_TAP You too!! 🤗🤗 #cancersm |
| Sarah Temkin @temkins If scans are tough it might be worth discussing the value of imaging with your doctor. They might be less necessary than you think for surveillance. All cancer is different #cancersm #gyncsm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal @gyncsm T2 When I was in treatment for a recurrence I had to cut back on visiting my elderly Aunt . I ended up ordering her food from PeaPod (stop&Shop) instead of shopping myself #CancerSM |

| Christina Lizaso @btrfly12 Good point. Plus next MRI I am being clear about how I want results and my expectations. I had my scan July 22 and still have no report. #CancerSM |
| Erica Bednar @EMBOSU @carlyflumer @btrfly12 "Scanxiety" is real--definitely an important consideration, since it's often an interval thing (every few months) #cancersm #gencsm #gyncsm |
| @MyelomaTeacher - Cindy Chmielewski @MyelomaTeacher T2 I try not to do anything cancer related before 10 am or after 7pm and on the weekends Sometimes that is not possible, but that’s my goal #cancersm |
 | TrueFaith_Living✨ @KeepItMovn2 @gyncsm How do I continue this fight and not lose myself in the battle? It’s hard for the diagnosis to not become your new normal. Quite frankly, I just want my life back. #cancersm |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @SarahTemkin Absolutely! And your doctor should be able and willing to discuss different options with you to help ease anxiety. #cancersm |
| Maggie Rogers @magthenomad T2. LOL. 🤷🏼♀️ with a smile? Schedule multiple appointments in the same day or after/before work hours so you don’t have to use all of your vacation time. Try not to have a breakdown on the NYC subway, but if you do, it’s okay. #cancersm |

 | Dawn Ford @tealbtrflies4me @carlyflumer @gyncsm Yes absolutely!! I was so thankful my workplace allowed me to work from home if I felt up to it. Never once did they say anything about my schedule. I was so thankful they were so understanding. #cancersm |
| Maggie Rogers @magthenomad RT @EMBOSU: @carlyflumer @btrfly12 "Scanxiety" is real--definitely an important consideration, since it's often an interval thing (every few months) #cancersm #gencsm #gyncsm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal Great advice! #CancerSM |
| Tanya Temkin @tanyaltee T2: setting boundaries in your own life is a real skill! I’m still learning. #cancersm |
| Maggie Rogers @magthenomad RT @DawnHribalFord: @carlyflumer @gyncsm Yes absolutely!! I was so thankful my workplace allowed me to work from home if I felt up to it. Never once did they say anything about my schedule. I was so thankful they were so understanding. #cancersm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal @KeepItMovn2 @gyncsm I felt the same way when I was in treatment. I felt I had no control. Totally understand #CancerSM |
| Christina Lizaso @btrfly12 I like how one person put it - that your new "normal" is not better or worse. Just different and will be an adjustment. #CancerSM |

| GYN Cancer | #GYNCSM @gyncsm T3: After diagnosis, did you change how you ate or how much you exercised? Did you start a new activity or stop doing an activity? #cancersm |
 | Dani Taylor (She/Her) @danimarietaylor @gyncsm Hi! I'm Dani. 5 years ago I finished treatment for colorectal cancer. I'm now a social worker working for the amazing @yacancercanada. They're an organization that support #ayacancer patients in Canada with a range of programming. #CancerSM |
 | Henning Willers, MD @HenningWillers @carlyflumer @SarahTemkin just strolling by this chat ... ask whether your doctor may be willing to see you right after imaging to do a prelim review, so you don't have to go home and be anxious and wait for results/next visit (we typically offer surveillance CT and visit same day) #cancersm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal I try to not do advocacy stuff on the weekend - I have a 9-5 schedule - except for chats LOL #CancerSM |
| Christina Lizaso @btrfly12 RT @gyncsm: T3: T3: After diagnosis, did you change how you ate or how much you exercised? Did you start a new activity or stop doing an activity? #cancersm |
 | Amanda Crowell Itliong @MIShouldTalk T2: Since my 3rd recurrence I’ve been disabled and spend my extra time/energy volunteering. Focusing on cancer related work means they understand when I’m sick. #cancersm |
| Shannon Westin, MD, MPH, FASCO @ShannonWestin T3: There are growing data to support exercise to prevent cancer recurrence - and you get the bonus of stress relief!! #gyncsm #cancersm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal RT @gyncsm: T3: T3: After diagnosis, did you change how you ate or how much you exercised? Did you start a new activity or stop doing an activity? #cancersm |
| Tanya Temkin @tanyaltee T2: yes!! And expectations can be different but not lowered. #cancersm |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @gyncsm I remained exercising because I knew it was important. It helped keep my energy up and I felt strong even though I was going through something that made me feel weak mentally. #cancersm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal @danimarietaylor @gyncsm @yacancercanada Welcome Dani! So happy you could join in tonight. #CancerSM |
| Maggie Rogers @magthenomad T3. I defer to those that have memories before cancer... #childhoodcancer problems. But when I started getting secondary skin cancers, I became very vigilant about sun screen (even in the winter!) every day #cancersm |
| Lfwohl @Lfwohl1 I was an avid tennis player and gave it up as I am too tired. Not liking my new normal #CancerSM |
| Nancy's Point @NancysPoint Same here! Few chats RT @womenofteal: I try to not do advocacy stuff on the weekend - I have a 9-5 schedule - except for chats LOL #CancerSM |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal @HenningWillers @carlyflumer @SarahTemkin Feel free to stay a while..#CancerSM |
| Christina Lizaso @btrfly12 Giving yourself permission to say "no" to things and choosing who to surround yourself with becomes more important. #cancersm |

| Maggie Rogers @magthenomad @HenningWillers @carlyflumer @SarahTemkin ... wait... is that a legit option? My last breast MRI, I literally got results in the mail about needing a biopsy before a human doctor even called me back. #cancersm |
 | Monica Bryant, Esq. @CancerAttorney T2: when it comes to work you may need to avail yourself of legal benefits like reasonable accommodations, FMLA/state leave, etc. sometimes it can feel like asking for a favor, but those who are eligible should remember it’s a right! @TriageCancer has resources to help! #CancerSM |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal T2 I didn't exercise during my initial treatment but did during treatment for my recurrence. What a difference that made. #CancerSM |

| Tanya Temkin @tanyaltee T3: Eatingwas something I did when I had an appetite. Gave up coffee, alcohol, and eventually red meat. But I still indulge from time to time in the best pork adobo and pancit I’ve ever had. #cancersm |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @gyncsm A1: I had no idea, in 2003, how DIFFICULT it would be to find balance. I still haven’t found it yet! #CancerSM |

| Susan Said Alghamdi @alghamdi_susan I think as clinicians we need to help our patients to creat a form of balance between cancer and life , we need to focus more on their emotional needs rather than focusing on scans and blood tests #CancerSM |

| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal RT @btrfly12: Giving yourself permission to say "no" to things and choosing who to surround yourself with becomes more important. #cancersm |
| Dr. Grace Campbell, PhD, MSW, RN, CRRN, FARN @GraceCampbellRN T3: Also some evidence that exercise helps mitigate treatment-related symptoms (fatigue, poor balance, etc). #gyncsm #cancersm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal RT @NavSurvivorship: T2: T2: when it comes to work you may need to avail yourself of legal benefits like reasonable accommodations, FMLA/state leave, etc. sometimes it can feel like asking for a favor, but those who are eligible should remember it’s a right! @TriageCancer has resources to help! #CancerSM |
| Henning Willers, MD @HenningWillers @magthenomad @carlyflumer @SarahTemkin I'd say it depends on imaging type and your doc. For breast MRI I honestly do not know. It may not be possible to get a immediate read and visit I offer same day chest CT or brain MRI (and occasionally PET) for #lungcancer and visit right after #cancersm |
| Nancy's Point @NancysPoint T3: You gotta cut yourself some slack. Exercise is always important. As is healthy eating. Sometimes neither is doable. That's ok. #cancersm |
| GYN Cancer | #GYNCSM @gyncsm Topic 4 (T4:) coming up... #cancersm https://t.co/qAaI2Jxkwm |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @gyncsm A2: Just started a new job in April. First job since brain tumor in 2011, I’m terrified how my appts and scheduling will progress. 🙏🏻 #btsm #pten #CancerSM |

| TrueFaith_Living✨ @KeepItMovn2 @gyncsm T2: I’m still on treatment but working full-time to keep benefits for myself and two kids. We self-schedule so I don’t schedule myself on clinic days and no more than 2 shifts in a row. I also schedule 4-5 days off in a row at least once a month. #cancersm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal RT @magthenomad: @NavSurvivorship @TriageCancer @CancerAndCareer is another great one for that type of info #cancersm |
| Maggie Rogers @magthenomad @tanyaltee Casually drinking red wine during this chat 🍷 we all gotta have something! #cancersm |
| Bob Steele @steele_bob Exercise has become a huge challenge for JoAnn due to severe chronic spine pain and weight gain from steroids. Need a trainer. #cancersm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal T3 After my recurrence we got a dog - big step for me . She is full of energy so we started doing agility. She is much faster than I am and I don't have to jump over obstacles. #CancerSM |
| GYN Cancer | #GYNCSM @gyncsm T4: How much of your "cancer life" do you share with those in your life that haven't been impacted by cancer or a tumor? #cancersm |
| Amanda Crowell Itliong @MIShouldTalk T3 I’ve had to adjust my food and exercise based on what I’m able to eat and do because of treatments/surgery. It would be awesome if I could always get better at exercise, but brain tumors have caused falls. #cancersm |
| Dani Taylor (She/Her) @danimarietaylor @gyncsm How I find balance is forever changing. I, like many, have found a career in onc. after my own dx. It complicates how I find my balance. RN, it's less about finding 'cancer-free' spaces & more being at peace with the many feelings of cancer (including good ones). #cancersm |
| Susan Said Alghamdi @alghamdi_susan Good news from our cancer clinic, I have many survivors who passed the five years survivorship and graduated from our cancer clinic with honour #CancerSM |

| Christina Lizaso @btrfly12 T3: Seeing a nutritionist is on my list after adding a Thyroid scan baseline to my health list. I've been slowing taking care of things since diagnosis but a little slower than I should be. #cancersm |
 | Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa T3: Actually, pre-diagnosis I started making changes. There was about a 2.5 month gap from real suspicion to starting treatment. I wanted to be in a good place before I got there, so I started taking diet and exercise seriously. #cancersm |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @gyncsm I was scared at first to share anything. But I slowly started to share on social media, and I got so much support. I enjoy sharing my #cancerjourney story and hearing others! #cancersm |

| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal T3: I had a few gastro issues after treatment - found I needed to add more fiber to my diet. That made a big difference #CancerSM |

| Monica Bryant, Esq. @CancerAttorney @NancysPoint We read it! #cancersm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal @NancysPoint I do !!!! #CancerSM |
| Dani Taylor (She/Her) @danimarietaylor @gyncsm I've been privileged that all of my employers in my post-cancer career have known about and valued my diagnosis. While it is still challenging to schedule around heavy screening periods, I've been able to figure out accommodations that make sense. That is a big help. #cancersm |
| Heather 🇺🇸 @ZHeatherChamp @MIShouldTalk Do you have a brain tumor? #CancerSM |
| Nancy's Point @NancysPoint Have you looked into LiveStrong at the Y? RT @steele_bob: Exercise has become a huge challenge for JoAnn...Need a trainer. #cancersm |
| Maggie Rogers @magthenomad T4. Very little. Except in writing (twitter, blogs) but usually strangers are reading those. Absolutely NOTHING about my experiences with #lateeffects. It freaks people out (cancer from cancer treatment?) and I’m still emotional talking about it #cancersm |
| Dawn Ford @tealbtrflies4me @gyncsm I tell my hubby whatever I am thinking or feeling. With my Mom and Grandmother I am more reserved. They understand but also don't understand. They can take things out of context which just creates more issues that I don't want to have to deal with. #cancersm |
| Bob Steele @steele_bob T4: We're both active lung cancer advocates. Don't miss many opps to talk about cancer research funding. :) #cancersm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal T4 When we moved a few years ago I didn't tell anyone about my dx even as my advocacy work increased. Eventually though I I shared my story. #CancerSM |
| Tanya Temkin @tanyaltee Y yo tambien! |
| Dani Taylor (She/Her) @danimarietaylor @btrfly12 Oh, I'm familiar with this waiting game. The worst! #cancersm |
| Susan Said Alghamdi @alghamdi_susan I think sharing will make a huge difference , especially with loved ones #CancerSM |

| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal Great suggestion. Or @CancerSupportHQ has some after treatment programs #CancerSM |

| GYN Cancer | #GYNCSM @gyncsm T5: How soon after your diagnosis did you start volunteering and/or sharing your story? How do you balance family needs, personal needs, work needs and a desire to advocate for yourself and others? #cancersm |
| Dani Taylor (She/Her) @danimarietaylor @gyncsm This has been a big challenge for me! During my time with my tumour and in treatment, eating was extremely hard. My emotional relationship with food has intensified, which is something I wouldn't have predicted during treatment. #cancersm |
| Nancy's Point @NancysPoint Aw, thanks, Dee. Was referring to my family. Just a couple read as far as I know. Rarely discuss cancer. RT @womenofteal I do !!! #CancerSM |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @ohhiialexa I am both of those, too!! “Good cancer” drives me crazy!!!! We gotta stick together. ❤️ #cancersm |
| Cancer Hope Network @CancerHopeNet RT @btrfly12: I like how one person put it - that your new "normal" is not better or worse. Just different and will be an adjustment. #CancerSM |
| Tanya Temkin @tanyaltee T4: I’ve been re-establishing relationships with extended family I haven’t seen in years! I’m more interested in what’s happening in their lives than talking to them about cancer. But I’ve discussed BRCA with each of them. #cancersm |
| Bob Steele @steele_bob @NancysPoint @steele_bob Prior to recent recurrence/illness we went to a gym via Silver Sneakers. Need a specialist trainer now. #cancersm |

| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa RT @btrfly12: T1: T1: When scan time comes up every six months, I find it hard to balance the anxiety with other priorities. #CancerSM |
| Nancy's Point @NancysPoint @steele_bob Hope you can find a good, qualified trainer then. #cancersm |
| Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @gyncsm I was scared to research anything when I was diagnosed. Now that I’m in remission, I’m doing a lot more research online, listening to podcasts, & networking with the #cancercommunity (LOVE!). I’m looking forward to a future in #patientengagement! #cancersm |
| Dani Taylor (She/Her) @danimarietaylor @gyncsm It's not a secret and when it has benefit for advocacy and similar causes, I'm happy to provide a patient voice. But I know my boundaries. You'll rarely hear me talk about my partner and my family in relation to cancer. That part is for me. #cancersm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal T5 I went to a @livestrong survivor summit a year after my dx and my volunteering and advocacy grew from that experience. I learned I could make a difference and knowledge was powerful #cancersm |
| Debra Hallisey @advocatemomdad Knowledge IS power. |
| Tanya Temkin @tanyaltee T5: I had to stop working because of cumulative effects of chemo, brain surgery (benign meningioma) and PTSD. Before that I was a data analyst and managed research projects. Research Advocacy is how I can benefit myself and others #cancersm |

| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa T5: Exactly 2 years! I went from not wanting to talk about it at all, to realizing I needed to. I’m still trying to figure out the balance part. But hey, aren’t we all? 😉#cancersm |
 | Triage Cancer @TriageCancer @tanyaltee Good for you! If you’re ever interested in other types of advocacy check out https://t.co/vqYCgT8cE5 #cancersm |
| Dani Taylor (She/Her) @danimarietaylor @gyncsm During my dx, I performed some stand-up about it as a way to battle my shame around a colorectal dx. Then, quiet when I felt lost in the hurt. After attending a retreat with @yacancercanada almost 2 years after my dx, it really activated me as a patient voice. #cancersm |
| Dee Sparacio @womenofteal @danimarietaylor @gyncsm It is important that you make those decisions about how and what to share. I always ask if my family members want to take part in advocacy events- walks, dinners . And if they say no I am not disappointed . #CancerSM |
