I'm a digital clutter coach, but my work hit close to home when my dad died. I was glad I'd taken these steps ahead of time.
I'm a digital clutter coach, but my work had never hit close to home until my dad passed away. When he did, I was glad that I'd taken steps ahead of time to be organized. Saving his logins, organizing a Dropbox, and keeping his phone active helped during a tough time. I never imagined that being organized in my digital life would help my family during one of our toughest times. My father had Parkinson's disease for many years. But in 2020, at the height of the pandemic, it got worse, fast. He was suddenly adding extra zeros to checks, looking for the TV remote in the coat closet, and he got lost driving to the grocery store four blocks away. (That was the last time he drove.) My way of coping with his sudden decline was to kick my organizational skills into overdrive. Though I'm a digital clutter coach by profession, it had never hit this close to home. Here's what I did that made an extremely difficult time easier for me and my family. I got a clear picture of his assets and organized his documents digitally I worked with him (as much as he was able) and my mom to gather all of the financial statements, wills, powers of attorney, insurance policies, health directives, medicines, and more. I saved these files in Dropbox so that they could be accessed from anywhere and easily shared with others. (Another great option is Trustworthy, which has certified experts who can help gather all of these documents into one user-friendly hub.) Taking it a step further, I shared those documents pre-emptively with his healthcare providers, banks, insurance companies, and more to ensure I could speak to them on his behalf. I used my phone as a scanner and a fax machine When my dad ultimately passed in November of 2020, we found ourselves signing slews of documents and faxing dozens of death certificates. My phone became a powerful tool that I could use on the go, whether I was at the funeral home, the bank, or my mom's house. I used my phone to scan documents directly into Dropbox, but one of the most surprising and helpful things was using it to fax. I learned quickly that many banks and insurance companies do things "old school." I sent faxes via a phone app called GeniusFax. It was super affordable and saved me the stress of running around town trying to track down a fax machine. (Hello, 1985.) I saved his logins, and I kept his phone active I stored all of my dad's usernames, passwords, and answers to security questions (like, who was your first grade teacher) in 1Password so that I could access accounts on his behalf. I created a tag called "Dad" so that I could easily find all items related to him amid my own passwords. We also somehow had the foresight not to deactivate his phone right away. That was crucial when we needed to receive 2-step verification texts when logging into his accounts. I used facial recognition to gather photos I was tasked with making the video for his memorial service, so I asked family and friends to use the facial recognition feature on their phones and add their favorite photos of Dad to a shared photo album. This made it so easy to create a beautiful tribute video, and to this day, my mom still watches it. I miss my dad's goofy, dry humor, our peaceful canoe rides together, and his gentle spirit every day. But as strange as it sounds, learning how to use this technology made it easier to stay present, process my grief, and honor my dad. It made an incredibly difficult time just a little more bearable.

OS Therapies Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 19, 2025) - OS Therapies Inc. (NYSE American: OSTX) ('OS Therapies' or 'the Company'), a clinical-stage cancer immunotherapy and antibody drug conjugate biotechnology company, today reported second quarter 2025 financial results ended June 30, 2025 and provided a business update. 'The Company gained significant momentum in the second quarter as we began to make meaningful clinical and regulatory progress on our path towards bringing the first new treatment for osteosarcoma to market in the United States in the last 40 years,' said Paul Romness, MPH, Chairman & CEO of OS Therapies. 'Now midway through the third quarter, we have updated interim 2-year overall survival data readout that shows a statistically significant benefit for OST-HER2 treated patients, coupled with the final 12-month Event Free Survival ('EFS') that also shows statistically significant benefit for OST-HER2 treated patients, from our Phase 2b trial of OST-HER2 in the prevention or delay of recurrence in recurrent, fully resected, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma. The congruence between the overall survival and EFS data gives our clinical and regulatory teams confidence that we are on strong footing as we march towards our goal of receiving a Biologics Licensing Application ('BLA') by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ('FDA') for OST-HER2 under the Accelerated Approval Program ('Accelerated Approval'). Importantly, our U.S. commercial partnership with Eversana positions us to be able to bring OST-HER2 to osteosarcoma patients in the first half of 2026.' Mr. Romness continued, 'So long as we receive a BLA for OST-HER2 prior to September 30, 2026, the Company is eligible to be granted a priority review voucher ('PRV'), as a result of OST-HER2's rare pediatric disease designation, that it intends to subsequently sell. Given that the most recent publicly disclosed PRV sale transaction was valued at $160 million in June 2025 versus a May 2025 PRV transaction that was valued at $155 million, we believe that the PRV market is likely to continue to see an increase in value moving forward.' 'Additionally, we have made progress internationally with our recent Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway ('ILAP') submission, which formally begins the regulatory process for OST-HER2 with the United Kingdom's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency ('MHRA') following a successful Scientific Advice Meeting ('SAM'), during which we were advised that MHRA recommends a synchronization of the approval process with the FDA via Project Orbis within 30 days of the BLA submission. We have also scheduled an October 2025 rapporteur meeting with the European Medicines Agency ('EMA') as the starting point for the approval process with Europe,' noted Mr. Romness. Second Quarter 2025 Corporate Highlights: Third Quarter 2025 Progress to Date and Future Milestones Progress to Date: Upcoming 2025 Milestones: Loss from Operations: The Company recorded a net operating loss of $4.537 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared with a net operating loss of $1.557 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in net loss was largely due to expenses associated with U.S. and international regulatory activities related to the OST-HER2 Phase 2b osteosarcoma program. Net loss per share in the second quarter of 2025 was $0.19 on 25.114 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to second quarter of 2024 where the Company delivered a net loss of $0.26 per share on 5.991 million weighted average shares outstanding. About OS Therapies OS Therapies is a clinical stage oncology company focused on the identification, development, and commercialization of treatments for Osteosarcoma (OS) and other solid tumors. OST-HER2, the Company's lead asset, is an immunotherapy leveraging the immune-stimulatory effects of Listeria bacteria to initiate a strong immune response targeting the HER2 protein. OST-HER2 has received Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and Fast-Track and Orphan Drug designations from the U.S. FDA and European Medicines Agency. The Company reported positive data in its Phase 2b clinical trial of OST-HER2 in recurrent, fully resected, lung metastatic osteosarcoma, demonstrating statistically significant benefit in the 12-month event free survival (EFS) primary endpoint of the study. The Company anticipates submitting a Biologics Licensing Application (BLA) to the U.S. FDA for OST-HER2 in osteosarcoma in 2025 and, if approved, would become eligible to receive a Priority Review Voucher that it could then sell. OST-HER2 has completed a Phase 1 clinical study primarily in breast cancer patients, in addition to showing preclinical efficacy data in various models of breast cancer. OST-HER2 has been conditionally approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the treatment of canines with osteosarcoma. In addition, OS Therapies is advancing its next-generation Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) and Drug Conjugates (DC), known as tunable ADC (tADC), which features tunable, tailored antibody-linker-payload candidates.
