Who are the medical writers on ?! I do love the focus on clinical trials but feel like this is dismissive of side effects and potential toxicities of a clinical trial. There is already so much misinformation about clinical trials out there. Thoughts?!

October was incredibly meaningful this year and although Breast Cancer Awareness Month has ended, the work doesn’t stop. We must continue life saving research, the incredibly important fundraising, educating, community building, story telling, advocating and empowering.

I am reminded every day by my patients and this community how much joy there is after cancer. There is suffering and hardship. There are painful and life changing moments. There is also light, love, joy and magic ✨💫. We can hold space for all emotions and feelings. As we end October and move into the end of 2025, I hope you remember this message, especially on the darkest of days. 🩷

Happy Halloween 🎃. Post run chat and sharing a few thoughts on how to think about research you see presented on social media. You often see sound bites and headlines that are sensational. Nuance often gets lost on social media and things get taken out of context. In this video, I talk about how I like to think about studies and tips you can use to critically evaluate the data.

In the last few weeks, I have seen too many posts and videos claiming that certain foods, diets, and other lifestyle measures “prevent” cancer.

Here’s the thing: lifestyle measures can absolutely reduce cancer risk but they do not on their own prevent a cancer diagnosis. For example: lowering alcohol intake will lower risk but it doesn’t eliminate it altogether because cancer is multifactorial and it’s generally never just one risk factor.

You can do all the “right” things and still receive a cancer diagnosis and using the word “prevent” can unintentionally lead to feelings of blame and shame. You are never to blame for a cancer diagnosis.

I am a huge proponent of lifestyle measures to reduce cancer risk and risk of cancer recurrence (eat more plants, less processed and ultra processed foods, drink less alcohol or eliminate alcohol altogether, stop smoking, and move your body!). I believe movement is medicine and food is medicine. I try to practice this daily. With that, it’s equally important that we use thoughtful language and avoid oversimplified or absolute claims.

Remember: media headlines are often sensationalized so keep that in mind as well..and the actual conversations are often much more nuanced and more in depth than a 10 second sound bite.

On Wednesday 10/29 7pm EST/6pm CST, I am moderating a webinar with (an incredible organization that provides free peer-to-peer support and resources for kids and teens impacted by their parent or guardian’s cancer). This webinar is in collaboration with Us RUSH MD Anderson Cancer Center and .

In this video, I am sharing some tips about talking to your children:

🔸Gently open the door. Create small, non-pressured invitations. You might say, “I have a visit with my doctor today. I’m here to talk about it if you have questions.”

🔸Ask focused questions. Instead of broad, overwhelming questions (“Do you want to talk about what’s happening?”), try specifics: “Do you have questions about the nausea I’m experiencing from treatment?” This gives them a concrete starting point.

🔸Normalize their feelings. Children may hold back because they fear making you sad or upset. Reassure them: “It’s okay to talk about sad topics. It won’t upset me to talk about it with you.”

🔸Use indirect moments. Conversations in the car, when eye contact isn’t required, can feel less intimidating and may make it easier to open up.

I hope to see you on the webinar (you can also sign up for recording). Go to https://www.picklesgroup.org/program-calendar/webinar-10-29-25 to sign up or comment KIDS and I’ll send you the link!

What questions do you have about talking to your children or feel free to share your experiences in the comments!
