Today the CARG GA & tox tool were renamed. @rochgerionc suggested seeking consensus, but I can’t imagine dissent, so I’m going to proclaim Supriya’s idea: It shall henceforth be called the Hurria Tox Tool & Hurria GA. #GeriOnc @HKlepinMD @minasedrakmd @IshwariaMD @DrAllisonMags

Tomorrow, Mr Dr Wildes and I depart for a 20th anniversary trip, celebrating 19 years of marriage. We don’t count internship.

I did it! I said No to writing a book chapter. I almost reneged my No to say I'd coauthor, but stopped myself. @HKlepinMD & I once had a pact that we were going to say No to everything; we both failed within 24 hours. #biggirlpants #personalgrowth #R01isntgoingtowriteitself

More glass shattering! @SoniSmithMD named Chief of Hematology/Oncology at U Chicago, first female in the position. So incredibly happy for you, Soni! Your section is so lucky to have you.

Proud of my mentee finishing her 1st paper: not all frailty is the same - different models define different #myeloma patients as frail. Need further research to refine prognostic models & define how we modify treatment in response. #geriheme @JGeriOnc

A story of hope: A friend texted yesterday, asked for contacts in an onc subspecialty. Her job-hunting mentee had received a crushing rejection. Flurry of email intros & texts... Hours later, mentee has 5 new possible paths & a throng of #WomeninMedicine cheering her on.

First time a poster has made me cry: #ASH18 Abstract 4843- Hurria risk score associated with AEs in older lymphoma patients. 1st time in #geriheme (to my knowledge). 💔she is gone but her legacy lives on.

. @WilliamDale_MD shares his memories of @ArtiHurriaMD at the opening of the #siog18 annual meeting. She would say after a difficult situation resolved “I’m at peace with this.” Arti, you’re still teaching...
