@realgdt.bsky.social This weekend I watched the new Frankenstein movie. What a delight to see the true message presented. In 2007 the British Medical Journal commissioned me to review Frankenstein as a classic medical text. I hope GDT appreciates all his praise.

Living on Both Sides of Lung Cancer
Dr. Ross Camidge, Director of Thoracic Oncology at the Colorado Cancer Center, has been a trusted voice and sought-after second opinion for lung cancer patients around the world for decades. He has spoken at ALK Positive Summits, appeared on ALKtALK, and serves on the ALK Positive Scientific Advisory Board — guiding and supporting our community. However, for the past three years, this beloved key opinion leader, researcher, and advocate has been quietly facing his own stage IV lung cancer diagnosis. Dr. Camidge returns to ALKtALK, this time not only as an expert in thoracic oncology, but as a patient himself. This honest and deeply human conversation, recorded during Lung Cancer Awareness Month, is a chance to learn from someone who lives this life from both sides of the stethoscope. Whether you're newly diagnosed, in active treatment, or supporting someone you love, we hope you find this discussion informative, inspiring, and empowering. It's a story that reminds us how knowledge, compassion, and resilience connect us all. This ALKtALK event was originally held live on Sunday, November 9th and included a Q&A session. We are pleased to share the full recording here for anyone who couldn’t join us live. If you find this conversation helpful, please like the video, share your thoughts in the comments, and subscribe to the ALK Positive YouTube channel for future ALKtALKs and community updates. #ALKpositive #LivingWithLungCancer #EGFR #LungCancerAwareness #MoreResearchMoreTime + + + About our ALKtALKs and ALK Positive Inc + + + ALK Positive does not endorse specific treatments and does not provide medical advice. Questions and concerns should be raised with individual care teams. ALK Positive is a 501(c)(3)-registered, patient-driven organization that seeks a cure for ALK+ cancer and works to improve patients’ quality of life and life expectancy worldwide. ALK Positive is committed to raising funds for research proposals that will transform ALK-positive cancer into a chronic or curable condition for all patients living with this disease. We offer a full range of Healing Arts classes to help our community balance a productive life, treatment side effects and the mental stress of a cancer diagnosis. These include ALKtALKs -- our flagship community program aimed at making our ALK community a little smarter and a little smaller, by bringing the latest information, research and practices from leading experts.

Another day, another chess match in a cat cafe. This time against the legendary wildlife photographer and former chess club nerd, Julie Price. She bragged about crushing me in every one of our prior matches but with kitty distractions in place the tables were turned today. Oh yeah!

The Colorado Public Radio interview with Andrea Dukakis aired this week. Andrea had lost her daughter to a brain tumor and so cancer is something that has touched her and her family directly. www.cpr.org/2025/10/28/l...
He has the same disease as his patients. How a renowned lung cancer doctor is facing life and death
Dr. Ross Camidge hopes talking about his cancer can help to de-stigmatize terminal illness and demonstrate that a person with cancer can still be a productive member of society.

It took me a while to get the cat joke. Dogs can’t screen for lung cancer but catscan. What a delight to meet Dusty Donaldson on her lung cancer screening awareness tour together with Jamie Studts the man who helped boost Kentucky’s screening rate from the lowest to nearly the highest in the USA.

I just finished ‘unbroken’ (courtesy of Denver Public Library). Unbroken has two meanings here - both the resilience of Louis Zamperini, Olympian, airman, crash survivor, POW, alcoholic, saved Christian. Also the sense of unbroken records, of exceptionalism -
