This one hits multiple fronts. In GI we recognize the need to better understand early onset colorectal cancer but I remember watching @StephenGarcia in med school and residency lead my @GamecockFB
A former college quarterback was diagnosed with colon cancer at 38. He and his wife share details about his first symptoms and diagnosis. today.com/health/celebrity-h…

I like this by @EdBarnesMD @MaiaKayalMD @AmJGastro @AmCollegeGastro
🟢Pouchitis + CDLP
🟢Ust vs aTNF
🟠no diff. (Table 2) - maybe Ust?
🔑CDLP response > pouchitis (Fig 1)
A recurring theme in this space
This is a tough study to do - I appreciate it.

On March 4, 1993, at the first ESPYS, Jim Valvano accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award and delivered his iconic “Don’t give up, don’t ever give up” speech.
His words changed lives. His legacy created the V Foundation for Cancer Research. nitter.net/i/broadcasts/1BdGYZRwW…
