Hey Tambre! Good to see you here. Sadly, too many have missed out on a valuable resource mainly due to the name. The way it should be presented to the #AYAcancer and general cancer community matters should be simplified. That doesn’t diminish the support it can provide. #ayacsm

So happy that you could make it!! #AYACSM

Glad I was able to make it in time to join in some of the conversation. Hugs y’all - @emilydrake.ca #ayacsm

Thank you @emilydrake.ca & @warriormegsie.bsky.social

Thank you to everyone who joined in on the conversation. Your time, posts and comments are appreciated and important!

We are looking for guest moderators for 2026 – please let me know if you are interested!

Mark your calendars! Please tune in Tuesday, November 10 @ 8PM ET for next #AYACSM chat!

I disagree because the name as is doesn’t resonate with the community. Why keep pushing something that most don’t understand or scared to understand? I think the research and medical community forget that patients need clear language because we’re just trying to survive. #ayacsm

Agree! Diversity needs to be at the heart of research, innovation, and care. #AYACSM

A4: We definitely need more action & access for the AYA gyn community. We can’t have innovation without diversity. How can we take action when the decision-makers are mostly ⚪️ and not bringing minoritized communities to the table. I’m tired of being the ONLY Black person in too many rooms. #ayacsm

Some argue that naming the same thing something else doesn't change the issues/connotation it has but rather we should demistify what palliative care actually means. What do you think? #AYACSM

We need to change the name #palliativecare to #supportivecare. I was in palliative care for 2 years due to excruciating pain and complications post-cancer. That term palliative care didn’t resonate then or now. #ayacsm

Q4: What are the next steps for #AYACancer innovation? #AYACSM

I need another me for ME!!! #ayacsm

I agree!! The re-building of the chat has been slow (maybe that should be the focus of November's chat - which we will move timing wise due to the #midterms), but it has fostered a very real community and real connections #AYACSM

Q3: #AYACSM Absolutely! Social media has/is extremely helpful in innovation ! Case in point - the chats! We learn so much from each other! And the connections/conversations can spark that innovation to a wider audience & new ideas!

#ayacsm forgot to add the hashtag

Welcome!! So happy you could come!! Sounds like a long day #AYACSM

I’m here!!! Caregiver duty this afternoon and driving what feels like a million hours and just got home. Utterly fatigued. #AYACSM #caregiver

Q3: Does social media have a role in helping organizations and HCPs be more innovative? How? #AYACSM
