On Twitter, Mark Lewis, MD, cleverly offers bits of info on science and his own life as a patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) cancer syndrome. In his attempt to remove any shame some people feel for having cancer or any hereditary disease, Dr. Lewis offers "signpost to things that are reliable and that are meaningful" while providing a "very careful distinction between hope and hype." Before Dr. Lewis takes the mic as a podcast co-host, he and fellow social media enthusiast Don Dizon, MD, make the rounds through a range of valuable topics: living with the disease, talking to children about cancer, exploring genetic testing, balancing relationships with patients, and dealing with the stigma of sickness.
