There are so many great sources of highly quality information that we at AnCan do not need to contribute to the overload. But when we see a good article we will bring it to you, especially if it pertains to any of our groups. So here are two that fall into that category.
The first follows up on a queston raised in our Advanced Prostate Cancer Group on Tuesday, when a particpant asked whether he could delay treatment … in particular androgen deprivation and bone strengthening shots. And the week before we had a discussion about hospital visits at this time of virulent crisis. This article from The Washington Post reports on how the Covid19 is effecting several different cancer patients including one advanced prostate cancer patient enrolled in a clinical trial, who has adjusted his treatment.
The second link is to a CURE Talks interview with Dr. Stephen Pergam, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, University of Washington and several multiple myeloma patient advocates on the interesection of Covid19 and MM/blood cancers. You can listen to it here .
For us at AnCan, we have definitle seen an upswing in attendance to our meetings. In response we have added two sessions, and two new meetings for blood cancers, and for ovarian cancer.
