Ida Gabrielsson questioned whether the Stureplanscenter was allowed to dictate the terms for the entire Center Party. She wrote that the Left Party and C governed together in many municipalities and regions, but that C risked leaving Stockholm without regional governance for tactical reasons related to national government negotiations, according to her. Gabrielsson stated that C had told the media that the party could let V in Stockholm when the government issue was resolved. She argued that C showed greater maturity and responsibility in collaborations elsewhere in the country, and warned that political games could create instability within Stockholm's healthcare. Gabrielsson questioned whether C could build stable collaborations and expressed concern for the party's ability to govern the country together with others. (translated)

SARA Nilsson wrote that she felt grateful to still be able to breathe after her cancer illness. She attributed a crucial role in her fight to her children and Patrik, and also thanked her colleagues, people who raised money for the drug ENHERTU, Douglas, those who prayed for her, and the surgeons who removed tumors. She wrote that the treatment had shrunk the tumors and that the fight continued, but that she was no longer afraid. Nilsson also talked about Fredrik Vikström, whom she said had helped her navigate the healthcare system. According to Nilsson, Vikström had himself been palliative in 2018 after colorectal cancer and later reached a state of NED, “No evidence of disease.” She wrote that he had researched, sought solutions, and demanded changes within the healthcare system, and that he had become involved in the same way when she discovered a tumor under her skin last year. Vikström's book “Under varje sten” was, according to Nilsson, set to release at midnight. She wrote that it chronicled his journey from palliative care to NED and contained advice on making demands and finding one's way in Swedish healthcare. The book, according to her, made no promises of miracle cures or guaranteed recovery. She also stated that there was a free cancer manual and an app on Vikström's website. #cancer #tacksamhet #livskraft (translated)
- National highly specialized care is based on the regions taking joint responsibility for patients across the entire country. For the Västra Götaland region, these conditions represent both a great trust and a clear responsibility. We will contribute our expertise where it is most beneficial, while also depending on the expertise of other regions in different areas. That is how we together build a strong and equitable health and medical care system in Sweden, says Jonas Claesson, Director of Health and Medical Care in VGR. #högtspecialiseradvård #Sahlgrenska #VästraGötaland (translated)

Together with the regions, we need to find out what capabilities are required and how they can be developed where they are needed," says Björn Eriksson. #beredskapssjukhus #krisberedskap #Sverige (translated)

SARA Nilsson wrote that a PET scan in Finland two weeks earlier had shown tumor cells growing in a lymph node. She received the news last week, even though the regular follow-up was scheduled for November. According to Nilsson, her doctor also believed that radiation treatment should start as soon as possible to reduce the risk of further spread. After a week's attempt to book an MRI, she got an appointment via 1177 on October 31, she stated. The examination was to be done a month after the PET scan and would show how close a nearby organ was to the lymph node, so that the radiation could be directed correctly. After that, she would wait for radiation treatment. Nilsson wrote that on June 30, she had undergone an over 20-hour-long operation to remove three recurrences, after what she described as a very long wait for an MRI the year before. She criticized how Swedish healthcare was administered and wrote that people were dying while waiting for examinations. She concluded by saying that she intended to go her own way and planned to die in line. #Sjukvård #Cancer #Hälsa (translated)
