I just did this podcast (not live yet) with a hospice chaplain interviewing me about death. It was strangely fun and therapeutically focusing. His final question was ‘How would you like to be remembered?’ 😳What would you say?

Dr. Ross Camidge: I Have Stage 4 Lung Cancer Lung cancer expert Dr. Ross Camidge shares his own stage 4 diagnosis, reflecting on symptoms, treatment, family, and what it means to live fully with cancer.

thepatientstory.com/patient-stor... The patient story went deep with me. Perhaps the whole voiceover and stock video (it’s obviously not me fondling their shoulder in the video, for example) isn’t the format I was expecting but Stephanie knows her audience way better than me.

His insights into the true tale of society and disfigurement, of parenting or mentorship, of owning our creative efforts hidden in Mary Shelley’s classic are as much in everyday life as they are in my medical perspective.

@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.

It becomes a footnote in their life. It doesn’t take long before you just think here comes Doug and that’s the best thing in your day.

You can hear doug coming as he vocalizes with puffs and grunts all the time. You can see him coming as his arms and head and shoulders twitch and spasm all the time. But, just like any diagnosis, once you know the person their headline grabbing diagnosis fades.

Doug Ney is many things. A neurologist, an oncologist who specializes in brain cancers, one of the kindest and most patient people I know and, as a footnote in his life once you get to know him, someone affected by Tourette’s Syndrome. The real kind not the TV version shorthand for swearing a lot

For those of you who haven’t figured this out yet. The files come out about a year after the broadcast. The immediate release get some chat from me to but they are more first impressions than reflections.

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!

Finally we have to draw distinction between association and causation- liver Mets aren’t the promise that death is coming. There are multiple individual exceptions to associating A with B. The research starts here it doesn’t end here
