http://doctordavidsblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/access-to-experimental-drugs-for-dying.html
Monday, June 16, 2008. Access to Experimental Drugs for Dying Patients. Before I went to the ASCO meeting. I read a fascinating interview. Conducted by Dr. Val. She interviewed Dr. Emil J. Freireich, the director of the Adult Leukemia Research Program at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. The discussion took place at a press conference announcing the introduction of the Access, Compassion, Care and Ethics for Seriously Ill Patients Act. Why is this important? What do I mean by that? This drug works by deliveri...

Doctor David's Blog: My name is FDA, and I approve of this message
http://doctordavidsblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-name-is-fda-and-i-approve-of-this.html
Thursday, December 29, 2011. My name is FDA, and I approve of this message. As the new year begins and election season accelerates, we will be hearing phrases like that more and more. In the context of a political commercial, it is often pretty clear what is being approved and the basis for the approval. But what about new drugs? How does the FDA decide whether or not to approve a new cancer drug, and what exactly is being approved? To treat women with ovarian cancer using Avastin, because they know appr...

Doctor David's Blog: Who am I and why am I here?
http://doctordavidsblog.blogspot.com/2007/06/who-am-i-and-why-am-i-here_4318.html
Monday, June 18, 2007. Who am I and why am I here? My name is David Loeb, and I’m a pediatric oncologist. Whenever I say that, I’m reminded of how people introduce themselves at AA meetings. Unlike being an alcoholic, being a pediatric oncologist is not a problem, really. You might think so from the looks I get when I meet someone and tell them what I do for a living. “You do what? 8221; “That must be so hard! 8221; “How can you do that every day? How did I get to where I am? Posted by Doctor David.

Doctor David's Blog: The Stomp Out Cancer Project
http://doctordavidsblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/stomp-out-cancer-project.html
Sunday, June 8, 2008. The Stomp Out Cancer Project. What a great idea. Is a terrific organization started by the friends and family of Steven Mackin, a young man who died of Ewing’s sarcoma. Ewing’s sarcoma is the second most common form of bone cancer, mostly striking children and young adults. This will be the second year that a group of musicians is putting together a compilation CD of indie music to raise funds for Ewing’s sarcoma research. Posted by Doctor David. Sounds like it will be a good CD!

Doctor David's Blog: Fishing, and the Kindness of Strangers
http://doctordavidsblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/fishing-and-kindness-of-strangers.html
Wednesday, December 23, 2009. Fishing, and the Kindness of Strangers. The ability of the internet to catalyze spontaneous events is not limited to Rickrolling. I want to tell a story of the power of the internet, and how it can harness all that is good in people, allowing total strangers to reach out to someone in need and do something special. I don’t know anyone with a fishing boat. But I do have accounts on Facebook. Posted by Doctor David. December 23, 2009 at 8:07 AM. December 23, 2009 at 8:22 AM.
