Every year since 2018 we have gathered 5 or more year survivors of lung cancer together at CU to show others that hope has a face. This is the May 11th 2024 gathering. Rock on!

Busy weekend of capitol to capitol. Ottawa to DC ready for DC lung cancer conference. The Canadians are, of course, hard to beat for making you feel welcome!

A beautiful venue in the arts center in Ottawa

Inaugural rare lung cancer conference in Ottawa, Canada. My real treat though was seeing my two ex trainees who are now faculty in Canada. L to R Dr Alec Watson, Calgary Cancer Center; me; Dr David Tsui, Sir William Osler Center, Toronto

After all the plan is to have cancer as a footnote not a headline for as many people as possible. For the same reason I don’t think male senators should be introduced by their presence or absence of prostate issues. Fair?

Next Saturday’s improv oncology line up in the DC Lung Cancer Conference. I’m still feeling out the etiquette of my new public reality. My current thought is I don’t bring up my diagnosis when I introduce myself or be introduced by my diagnosis unless I am set to be specifically talking about.

Panels are easy. Just answer questions with no slides- improv oncology

This coming week I get to walk among my peer group again for the first time since coming out of the cancer closet. Thursday and Friday in Ottawa (just finished my talk on ROS1 lung cancer). Friday (commute south) and Saturday in DC for a panel on ALK lung cancer.

Thinking back the crowds of survivors never cease to inspire me

Lungevity weekend for me. Friday was me and Rahul Gosain of the Oncology Brothers comparing and contrasting academic and community practices. Today was the geek squad of Janet Freeman-Daily and Upal Basu Roy (why am I the only one with a single surname?) and me on Ask the expert ‘Rare Mutations’ 🤓

www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new... Channel 4’s Kelly Werthmann did a really great job - finding the message and the soundbites to support that message. How news journalists find their questions and craft a video story all within hours is so impressive.

The Oncologist’s Garden: Blue Jay at the feeder - first one ever.

Another Tuesday, another news team in my office. CBS Channel 4. Such delightful people.

Santa’s helpers started putting winter/fall tree lights up in the Cherry Creek district of Denver today. Since I’ve seen them I guess their magic might go now. Oh no.

I ordered (it’s a small Carnegie library so not too much on shelves everyday) American Kingpin, The Andromeda Strain and Breakthrough. All on recommendations and to check different brain boxes🤓

D. Ross Camidge @drcamidge.bsky.social · 17d

Never too late. Yesterday I got my first library card. Piling up purchased books was just going to be something for someone else to get rid of sometime. It felt oddly welcoming to join the miracle of free, returnable books that is the public library system.

How is CME supported, recruited, organized? Kadrin built her expertise from the ground up.

D. Ross Camidge @drcamidge.bsky.social · 18d

After exploring the world of cure magazine and MJH health communications (inc Onclive) with Kristy Kahl, I then segued to Continuing Medical Education (CME) at conferences and other in-person events. My guide for this was Kadrin Wilfong, Estonian scientist, doctor, and senior leader at Peerview.
