The Not-Quite Annual ASCO Round-Up - 2018 edition
by Drew RosielleTheAmerican Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting, besides being a feast for the pharmaceutical business news pages (google ' ASCO ' and most of the hits will be about how announcement X affected drug company Y ' s stock), is also one of the premiere platforms for publishing original palliative-oncology research. So every year I try to at least scan the abstracts to see what ' s happening, and I figure I might as well blog about it. It ' s tough to analyze abstracts, so I ' ll mostly just be summarizing ones that I think will be of interest to hospice and palliative care folks. I imagine I ' ve missed...

Oisin Biotechnologies CSO John Lewis at Undoing Aging
Oisin Biotechnologies is one of a number of companies to have emerged from our community in recent years, from the network of supporters and researchers connected to the Methuselah Foundation and SENS Research Foundation. The Oisin principals are working with a platform capable of selectively destroying cells based on the internal expression of specific proteins. Their initial targets are senescent cells, one of the root causes of aging, and cancerous cells, one of the consequences of aging. They will be taking a therapy for cancer into clinical trials initially, as it is somewhat less challenging to move viable cancer tre...

What to do if you want to be a cruise ship doctor
In 2013 I began searching for ways I could change my career to reduce my workload, but not give up medicine altogether. During that time I took a cruise and looked at various jobs I could do on a cruise ship. One of the jobs I was qualified for, I thought, was to be a Cruise Ship Doctor.
After talking with the ship’s doctor to find out what it was like to be the doctor on a ship, I realized that I would enjoy that life. When I arrived back home I sent in an application to a cruise line. I was promptly informed that general surgeons were not qualified to be a ship’s doctor. They only accept physicians who practice emerg...

After Cancer Coping With The Instant Cancer Bond
So after you get diagnosed with cancer, it seems like everyone you know has cancer because:You have met a lot of other people going through cancer treatment while hanging out at chemo, in support groups, your oncologist ' s waiting room, etc. That part is kind of nice. You find out you aren ' t alone in this cancer business. You have an instant bond with new friends.Then you start hearing about all these other people who are diagnosed with cancer. You feel like you are supposed to be their friend too - because of that cancer bond thing again. Your cancer friends tell you about everyone they know when they are diagnosed wit...

The Complex World of Cancer Pathways Explained in One Giant Infographic
The world of cancer is complex, non-linear and the fight against the deadly disease family requires particular attention from care providers. That’s why the concise, accurate and yet simple infographics created as illustrations for the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s latest guidelines for the investigation and referral of suspected cancer cases are pure brilliance.
NICE guidelines for cancer investigation and referral revisited
The word, cancer, hides the complex world of many disease types and groups behind those six letters too conveniently. Sometimes patients tend to forget that cancer is not o...

Results From 5 Months of Strength Training
After decades of running as my primary form of exercise, I decided to get into weight training last year. My main motivation was curiosity. I wanted to see if I could build my strength consistently if I made an effort to do so. I approached this as another deep dive exploration.
It’s been nice to do a deep dive that doesn’t involve depriving myself of food or sleep, in contrast to last year’s 40-day water fasting experience. 🙂
Previous Strength Training Experience
The last time I did a significant amount of strength training was around 2003 when I did some group training at a private gym for several mo...

Uncontrollable itching – the denouement
The emergency department ordered a CT scan that showed a dilated common bile duct, no pancreatic masses, a mass in the duct – stone versus other.
Twelve hours after admission, he developed a temperature of 101 and a repeat CBC showed an elevated WBC with left shift.
Therefore, GI did an ERCP the next day – revealing a large gallstone – not easily removable. The placed a stent and drained pus.
So this man had painless jaundice from a common duct stone.
As an intern in 1976 I had a patient with ascending cholangitis. His internist told me that he had pancreatic cancer, but had declined surgery. In 197...

Pancreatic Cancer Sucks
I haven ' t been blogging recently because I have been emotionally stressed. It may take me a while longer to get back to it. Myfather, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last May, had metastases by August 1, and was in chemo until Feb 13, died on Tuesday February 27.Since his diagnosis with Waldenstrom ' s lymphoma back in 2013, I had become his oncology interpreter/assistant. I went to the important appointments and answered his questions that the doctor ' s don ' t want to answer.Due to vein damage from chemo for his lymphoma he needed a port. When he did finally get a port, his first question was ' when do I get ...

Reprioritized
You may know I live outside Boston, MA. We had two ' little ' snow storms in a row. The news is that we lost power from 10pm Wednesday until 7pm Saturday. Nearly 70 hours of now power makes one rethink everything.Yes we have nearly 12 hours of daylight each day. But it seemed to get dark very early each day. The indoor temperature reached 46 degrees yesterday. On the plus side we were relatively well equipped to lose power. We have a gas stove (hot food), gas hot water heater (hot showers), and a fireplace (some warmth). We also have lots of flashlights and a few lanterns and one tiny solar phone charger. The two cats were...

Because We Get It
I have been going to the same gym probably for eight years or so. I can ' t remember how long, nor to ask if they can tell me sometime while I am there. But its a great place for me and my ailments. It is also full of all kinds of other ' not-quite-healthy ' people. O2 tanks, rollators, walkers, canes, and other body supports are not uncommon.I have met many people there who I chit chat with while doing cardio and between resistance exercises. Its a very dedicated group who goes to the gym because of the extra attention we get for all our ailments. We get to know each other and notice when someone is not around for a while...

Cancer Not As Scary?
How scary is a breast cancer, or any other type of cancer diagnosis these days? Thisarticle, Thanks to advances, diagnosis of breast cancer isn ’t as frightening as it was, claims it ' s not as scary as it used to be due to advances in diagnosis and treatment. However I beg to disagree. That is not the only reason. And societally, we have not changed enough.Do you remember in the 1970s and earlier when people didn ' t talk about cancer? No, they whispered about it. So-and-so has cancer.... when ' s the funeral? Nice sequence there. But that is how life was. No one talked about cancer because it was a death sent...
