Her enthusiasm and versatility were perfect for what I needed
The day before my second cycle of treatment I was taken out to a jazz club in downtown Denver - Dazzle, with an amazing jazz quartet led by Camilla Vaitaitis. I’m not cool enough to get Jazz but sitting in the dark, with music my mind can’t predict the direction it will go in frees you from thought,
His humble description of his own evolution from bench scientist to biotech ceo and the Highs and Lows of the journey is a delight to listen to.
Tim was known as the boy wonder when we were PhD students. Partly from his boyish looks but largely for his brilliance. How many PhDs contribute to a Nobel Prize? Then that experience of embracing science and industry led him to biotech

Everyday Magic: on the walk back from the library yesterday I came across a fairy village. What I love most about this is both the person who built this and also the respect it has been given by passersby. No theft, no vandalism. Just shared magic.
@drcamidge.bsky.social’s incredible presentation from #TTLC26 is now available online. Anyone who deals with cancer in any capacity should watch it. You might cry (I did) but it’s worth it. Thank you IASLC for making the presentation publicly available.

Thanks so much Tara. Agree the truths are larger than the specifics. We all want to just put one foot in front of another. Illness doesn’t change that, only the effort required
Strange bedfellows: After a year of fighting like their namesakes, Atticus and Cleo found a cold evening and a warm fire can bring anyone together.
Science Will Win podcast (live today) explains personalized medicine. I was their guest as example and expert at the same time 😀 link.podtrac.com/whifmgc8
I was so glad it was Shirish to introduce me and to ‘catch me’ at the end for what was an emotionally hard presentation- full vulnerability. He has been an amazing friend over the years
At last week’s lung cancer conference I went full public with my dual role as patient and expert. I spoke after Jane Perlmutter a four time survivor (middle). Both of us were introduced by Dr Shirish Gadgeel- Jane’s doctor and my friend.

I’d never cried at a conference until today. Ross, thank you for this incredible talk. You’re a wonderful human, clinician, researcher, boss, mentor, and friend. The standing ovation was more than deserved. @drcamidge.bsky.social @cucancercenter.bsky.social #TTLC26
Try, fail, try better, fail better. This is someone whose need to be a scientist is as much undeniable as a dancer to dance or a singer to sing.
I interviewed Sophia Merajver knowing her drive for science. But when I tracked her journey from her blind chess playing father, antisemitism, military juntas, growing up on the street that never sleeps in Buenos Aires to the USA I got new insights.

EGFR not yet explored in ALK etc but working on it
A new day, a new treatment. After some pleural progression it’s time to shake up the treatment paradigm. This time a single patient trial of an experimental drug that I helped develop (in fact the paper describing it is by Camidge et al and still in press in a major journal)
I had to look it up, but thank you for the education! 😀
The tail on the coffee grinder curve: After 20 seconds of pulverizing some beans survive intact. Hope in a French Press
The joy of new adventures 😀
On a trip to Chicago to work with AbbVie I got to try traveling with an implanted port for the first time. In the way out I declared my new upgrade and made intimate friends with the TSA officer. In the way back I just went through the metal detector as normal and nothing abnormal happened!
And now with spelling mistakes corrected! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41563233/
How is the little guy?
A busy few days with minor medical tidy ups. After 3.5 years of scans with contrast my once tubular veins now need help. Ironman-like port now inserted. The upgrade was fascinating, as most medical things once ordered now experienced have been.
Listening to Justin makes we wish that all doctors were driven in the same way. He’s a fantastic example of ethical progress in oncology
Dr Justin Call went from community medical oncology practice to building a community phase I drug development program. Not a trials machine eating patients but a personalized, integrated addition to his Utah patients treatment when most appropriate.

In essence, Drugs that by chance inhibit TRK are hypothesized, based on breast cancer lab data and lung cancer clinical data, to stop deposits of cancer establishing themselves in the brain. If lung cancer lab data confirm then the potential to change oncology for the better across tumors is huge.
