👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼Please support us by asking your representatives to push for the bipartisan Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act (H.R.2048/S.3342). TY!! @NBCCStopBC #bcsm
Metastatic breast cancer does not wait and neither should patients. ⏰ The 29 month SSDI waiting period leaves too many without timely support. Take action today to support the MBC Access to Care Act. bit.ly/MBCDAY25 #KomenAdvocacy

💔 - Heartbroken Amy was my friend, my 🍷 buddy, fellow science nerd, early a.m. text partner, & one of the kindest, smartest people I’ve ever known. Over the past 5 years we shared conferences, adventures, laughs, & a friendship I will always treasure. The world feels a little smaller & much sadder without her in it. I’ll miss you terribly, Amy ❤️‍🩹 #Stage4NeedsMore #bcsm #MetastaticBreastCancer @metavivor @The_Right_Dose #FundMBCResearch
METAvivor is devastated to report the death of Amy Beumer, former board member, from metastatic breast cancer. We will miss her brilliance, wit, and friendship. In Amy's honor, we remain committed to ending deaths from MBC. Our condolences to her family and loved ones.

Proud to share @niseto’s (new PI @TheCrick) paper: As a postdoc (@CSHL/@HopkinsMedicine), he found #NETs in necrotic tumors—I shrugged. But he looked closer: NETs block tumor vessel perfusion, causing necrosis, hypoxia, EMT & #Metastasis. nature.com/articles/s41586-0… @JHU_BDP @Nature
