Although Blackadder was a comedy series, this last moment still makes me want to cry. The world has gone even madder since!
It is now 37 years ago that the last episode of #Blackadder Goes Forth was screened. This TV gold concluded 3 hrs of unmatched of comedy to many of us. But there was a deeper message throughout encapsulated in this moving final scene.

A bold call @myESMO from @BarbaraPistill2 for trials that compare existing ADCs against new, emerging ADCs to see if there are truly any differences (as opposed to new ADCS vs old chemotherapy). Will be interesting to see which companies believe so much in their product that they step forward to that challenge.

Yep and presenters should be banned from saying toxicities were tolerable if no validated patient reported data, analysed appropriately is shown!

Science fills congress halls. Patients ask, “What does this mean for me?” I agree with ESMO: sharing evidence is not enough. Interpretation must include patient priorities, not just expert opinions.

They were lovely people, so keen to learn skills when communicating about difficult topics - their patients are very lucky!

A very active weekend at Basics in Breast Cancer Surgery, held at @imperialcollege.

26 early-career oncology surgeons combined theory with practice, presenting summaries of online lectures and taking part in hands-on training in sentinel node biopsy, axillary dissection and removal of non-palpable lesions.

The course also addressed the important communication skills required in breast cancer care through an interactive workshop on communicating complex issues in breast cancer.
