I was diagnosed with #childhoodcancer stage III Wilm’s tumor when I was four years old. I received a nephrectomy, full abdominal and pelvic radiation, and a year and a half of chemotherapy including #vincristine. You all knew this was coming.... thread 👇🏻 #cancermeds4kids /1
If you haven't heard, we are facing a massive disaster in #pediatriconcology right now because there is a shortage of the chemo drug, #vincristine, which is used to treat (and often cure) a ton of types of #childhoodcancer including mine. Pardon me, but this is super fucked up /2
The drug company, @TevaUSA (@tevapharm) decided to discontinue #Vincristine because of “business reasons.” Which we all know is code for profitability. They did not give enough notice to the other supplier, @pfizer, to have enough time to ramp up production and meet demand /3

We wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped spread awareness in some way this month /1

Whether you ran in gold for @Coventryparkrun, took part in the treasure hunt, or were part of the minutes applause for Ben at @covblazehockey, @CoventryRugby or at the Juniors Crown Green Bowling match, we thank you /3
