Andrew's Blog » The Power of Meeting Another Patient
blog.patientpower.info — “Remember when people in the waiting room at a doctor’s office were all reading magazines? It was quiet as each person waited for their name to be called.

Andrew's Blog » An Insider’s Look at the FDA
blog.patientpower.info — “If you’ve read my blogs for a while, or look up some past blogs, you’ll see I have been frustrated at times with the FDA. Yes, they have a tough job protecting us from medical products that are unsafe and/or ineffective. But when it comes to cancer, where we have few “homerun” therapies, I wish they were a bit more liberal. A “bunt single” migh ...” View full resource at blog.patientpower.info

Andrew's Blog » “Hot Chemotherapy” Gaining Steam
blog.patientpower.info — “Today Andrew Pollack, reporter for The New York Times, wrote a front page story about Dr. Lowy, hot chemo, and how other medical centers are now picking up on it for other advanced cancers including colon and ovarian. They are even advertising it as one last bit of hope when often there is virtually none. Now, some of the big names in GI cancers are suggesting this approach has merit and may offer longer survival then some super expensive drugs.
