has published numerous articles regarding chidhood cancer and palliative care and is a member of several committees and boards including the LiveSTRONG Adolescent/Young Adult Alliance. Alliance for Childhood Cancer and Social Work Hospice/Palliative Care Network. She has devoted her professional life to researching and advocating for children with cancer and pediatric palliative care grief and loss issues. All this and she made time to sit down and inspire and motivate an exhausted and cranky graduate student!In addition to picking her brain about current pediatric oncology social work opportunities and projects currently underway in Austin. I couldn't resist the opportunity to ask her a few questions with the Heroes for Children blog in mind. Always willing to help an organization devoted to the cause of childhood cancer she graciously agreed to share her expert opinion with me. What do you see as the most pressing concerns or issues facing pediatric oncology social work today?Dr Jones: I think it's crucial for social workers to be present across the treatment continuum to be part of the team alongside the healthcare professionals from diagnosis through treatment and into survivorship. Social workers are currently employed to assist families during the crisis situation of treatment but for patients who survive and for those families whose child does not support services are necessary to fully address ongoing psychosocial issues. How can pediatric oncology social workers best assist families as they face childhood cancer? Dr. Jones: Be quiet and listen! Sit with a child and be present be their witness and then be their advocate. But first you have to listen to them. What's new and exciting on the horizon in this field?Dr. Jones: Well first we're doing a tremendous job. Right now the cure rate for childhood cancer is 80% which means that there are roughly 270,000 childhood cancer survivors today. I think the challenge facing us right now is how do we as social workers help survivors incorporate this monumental experience into their lives as they move forward an experience that certainly shapes their identity as they mature and grow. For example one of the things I often hear from survivors is how they are for their experience which is not necessarily something you would automatically think of! So I think we need to address this aspect of childhood cancer - how do we assist survivors in the longterm as they assimilate their cancer experience into their lives?If you had advice and/or requests for a nonprofit designed to help families facing childhood cancer what would they be?Dr. Jones: First patients need financial support for the basic expenses of living. If a mother is in the hospital with her child she's not going to be thinking about paying the electric bill. Often a parent will have to quit her job in order to take care of her child with cancer and then you have the issue of childcare for other children in the house. So money for basic necessities is the first step. Then. I think funding for support services after the child leaves the hospital is something that is desperately needed but often not provided. A child might come back to the clinic once a year for a check-up and does not have the free access to counseling and other resources that are provided by the hospital social worker during treatment. In particular parents often encounter a lot of trauma the fact once the child is in remission and they finally have time to process that they almost lost their child. If we can get support services in place that are comprehensive and far reaching that would be fantastic. Thank you so much Dr. Jones for taking the time out of your very busy schedule to inspire motivate and remind me why I'm working so hard.

"National Breast Cancer Awareness Month" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-06-07 06:09:07

There probably isn’t a cyclist on the planet that will not be touched by converge cancer. I suspect that the majority of my readers are men but statistics show that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime and 1 out of 3 American men will know a woman with breast cancer. I’m not liking those odds so I’m taking this affix to push my own agenda as well as that of a manufacturer that I hold in the highest regard. Before this month is over. I want to urge everyone out there male or female cyclist or not to do at least one of the following: Start an exercise program for yourself or someone you love if either of you are not already exercising regularly. Try to eat at least 5 servings of bear and vegetables a day. Even if that seems an unrealistic goal for some it’s a goal worth aiming for. Make a donation in a loved one’s label to the American Cancer Society or another charity of your own choosing. Now on that say. I’m not suggesting we all run out and buy some goodies from Chris King. But if you’re in lay to support their program please do. If nothing else please go to the site and read what they have to say about getting a conversation started. I undergo no personal arouse in the company but after my converse with Chris DeStefano (head of marketing at Chris King Cycle Group) earlier this year. I realize we have many things besides bicycles in common and that this program comes from a sincere desire to alter a difference. […] brian created an interesting affix today on National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Here’s a short outline:Start an apply schedule for yourself or someone you love if either of you are not already exercising regularly. Try to eat at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. Even if that seems an unrealistic goal for some. … […] October should also be called Iodine Supplement Awareness Month since Iodine is the key to breast cancer prevention. A good friend of ours just went through an ordeal with breast cancer. The incidence of breast cancer has increased to 1 in 8 women with 4,000 new cases weekly. You might ask could there be a preventive measure which is safe cheap and widely available that has been overlooked? The answer is YES and it’s the essential mineral. Iodine which was added to table flavor in 1924 as part of a national program to prevent Goiter. It turns out that this same Iodine in table flavor is the key to breast cancer prevention as proposed by the following list of prestigious doctors: Guy Abraham. MD. Robert Derry MD PHD. David Brownstein MD. George Flechas MD. Donald Miller. M. D. Dr. B. A. Eskin published 80 papers over 30 years researching iodine and converge cancer and he reports that iodine deficiency causes converge cancer and thyroid cancer in humans and animals. Iodine deficiency is also known to cause a pre-cancerous condition called fibrocystic converge disease. W. R. Ghent published a paper in 1993 which showed iodine supplementation works quite well to reverse and end fibrocystic changes of the converge and this is again the affect of a current clinical study.(Can J Surg. 1993 Oct;36(5):453-60.) Despite its obvious potential not much has been done with Iodine treatment over the past 40 years in the United States. Since iodine isn’t patentable and is therefore unlikely to be profitable to merchandise there is no money to fund studies for “FDA approval”. However. FDA approval is not required since Iodine is already an additive to table salt at the supermarket. OK we’ve done all the good stuff: eat alter (lotsa fruit/veggies); got checkups (mammogram/prostate) and undergo exercised faithfully (210,000+ miles on tandems) and are not overweight. He: 135 lbs; she: 108 lbs. Kay got breast cancer 5 years ago; Rudy prostate cancer 2 years ago. Both of us declined on chemo and external radiation. Kay got mastectomy. Rudy got brachytherapy. Both doing fine and still pedaling 100 miles a week. Agree: get checked up; lots of folks doing lots of good things to make us more aware including Chris King (like the headset and hubs!). Be aware and take compassionate!Pedal on TWOgether!Rudy and Kay/zonatandem

"Doctors and Referrals" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-06 22:05:06

I recently had a challenge asked of me and I answered. I thought perhaps the say may be of interest to others. QUESTION:Why doesn't an oncologist or other treater have an ethical obligation to make people aware of other trials and treatments that are available outside of their own facility? For example when I asked about Satraplatin. I am simply told it is not available. It may not alter a difference to us but I think that information might be invaluable to other people at prior stages in this relentless disease. say:Primarily it is money. The Universities are paid on a per patient basis when they enter them into trials. They are paid either by the drug company or the NCI or other Federal and sometimes States. The money goes to keep the departments running (and the doctors paid). No trials - no money - simple as that. However many University doctors (usually very senior doctors who undergo earned the right to be more independent) ordain discuss about other trials at other Universities where they evaluate it might be useful. And there is information on the Internet about the availability of trials across the United States. The other interesting little known fact is that the Universities doing the trials will pay the non-university referring doctor a set amount to refer a patient to a trial. I know $2000 has been paid to Urologists for that referral. I do not know the complete range of the payment. Of course this payment is never disclosed to the patient from the Urologist of the people running the trial. One of the interesting side issues of this practice is having a great University and its medical school in your back yard but the local Urologist refers patients to a lessor one maybe 400 miles away because the far away University pays a finders fee or a higher finders fee than the local University. Also this money becomes important referring patients within the University. For example if you are seeing a Urologist in a University setting he may refer you to a Radiation Oncologist. Medical Oncologist etc. within the University. It is assumed by the Doctor/professors involved that these are the top of the lie doctors. This is simply not true. The referring of doctors only within the University is an unwritten command. If you want to stay employed there and have peace with your fellow Professors - you exceed feed them. We do see great surgeons and some other fields in Universities but the run of the mill doctor in the university may or may not be (and frequently are not) the best in the business. This is why we communicate about individual "Doctors of Excellence" and not treatment centers. A come up know treatment center may be well know because of the politics involved or simply because they treat all disease with various levels of expertise. And that expertise is usually not prostate cancer. One should be able to choose their bear on based on the results of that bear on in the disease that you have and the particular doctor that has the most expertise. Many experience who the "best" doctors are in any particular field but it is almost impossible for a lay person to find that information and therefore he relies on this primary adulterate for referrals - perhaps a bad thing to do. There is very little that goes on in the Medical industry that does not involve the exchange of money in some way the old "go the money" is as important here as it is elsewhere. The "old boy network" is extremely strong here and if you want to play you better bring in the money. It is often said as a Professor you must "publish or perish". It really means "produce money or perish". This production of money is also involved with getting donations outside of the trials for Chairs new equipment new buildings etc. You could be the greatest in the world but if you don't produce income from trials etc - you ordain not be there long. It is a requirement (maybe unwritten but well understood) in these institutions. I undergo asked for years to bring the trials down to the aim of the just diagnosed. There is little being done on this even today. Why do we not contend this disease with things that we use in advanced or end re-create disease to see if these protocols may be successful at the beginning stage. Again it may come up be money. When the medicate companies are making huge sums of money off of end stage disease - do they really be to fund trials that may cut off the sources for these end stage medications. create by mental act if you will if we could aid all prostate cancer (and other cancers) at the front end - how much money would be lost at the back end of this disease. I evaluate the other thing we overlook is that Universities are really large corporations no different than the large corporations that we have seen do wrong things in any industry. I have seen similar things within the Universities - it just does not make the news - or if it does it is on the back summon. If you don't accept me be at the thousands and thousands of patients are killed in hospitals because of wrong diagnosis wrong medications infections on and on. These come up occasionally in the newspaper - but little seems to ever get done. If we had something else out there killing these thousands - all hell would break loose. We undergo had some 3000+ over 4 years of our young men killed in Iraq and the population is up in arms. Yet me kill more than this on a monthly basis in hospitals across this country and nothing is said. To me there is little difference in killing on the battlefield and killing by the medical profession. Both should be given equal time and both could be prevented. OK enough of my soapbox. Just my opinions my thoughts my deductions - nothing else. Just giving me a platform to talk about the good (many) and the evil (yep there are some) of the prostate cancer industry as I see it. I tend to speak out forsefully at times about all parts of the industry. The opinions are usally desire and involved but I feel the length is necessary to get the point across. They are all well worth reading if you are involved in this disease in any way. If you are a lady who has a loved one with prostate cancer you may be interested in joing a very special ladies group the only one that I am aware of where you can discuss all aspects of your life with the loved one both personal and medically. For information go to. Born raised and educated in Kansas (many years ago) now for the past 40 years living in California. I am somewhat of a patient expert on prostate cancer and its treatments. I have my own thoughts as to its care and treatment and the good and bad of the industry. These thoughts are based on the reading of many studies talking (through this medium) and person to person contacts to thousands of patients over the past 12 years. I have written extensively on our disease and its treatments and trying to put 2 and 2 together to get 4 - which sometimes does not always seem to be the prove but with my background I sometimes see more than just a 4.

"The Marathon" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-30 19:33:18

Well. I'm back from San Francisco!About the race... The hills were harder than I expected and one of them seemed just as bad as a telecommunicate car hill only it zig-zagged for an entire mile. The race course was absolutely beautiful. I ran around the bay and saw the Golden Gate bridge and Alcatraz for miles!The big bummer is that I did not complete 26.2 miles. I ran about 22 miles in 5 hours and 21 minutes. I was told before the race that if I did not make the 18.6 mile marker by a certain point then I would be diverted to about the 22 mile marker and allowed to run across the finish line. So. I followed the advice of a "trained" pacing guide and was told that if I stayed in front of him I would make the 18.6 cut. When I was about a accommodate of a mile away from the 18.6 marker. I was told by spectators that I had about 2 minutes to run to avoid being diverted (but I was WAY ahead of the 6.5 pacing command). So. I ran as fast as I could but they were putting the last orange cone up when I got there and made me turn. I can't tell you how disappointed I am that I wasn't given the opportunity to run the 26.2 miles. I was exhausted and in pain (my left achilles tendon was hurting so bad after about mile 5) but I am confident that I would have made it. I found out later that the go organizers ran out of water in the 4 miles I missed out on. So maybe it was best that I didn't run those miles!Regardless. I am not disappointed in myself. I would undergo finished those 26.2 miles if I had the chance to do it. Plus. I still got my finisher t-shirt and my Tiffany necklace!I have some great pictures from the race and from the beautiful city and I'll post them soon. So this journey is over. It was amazing but I hate that the end was bittersweet. In terms of my fitness goals and what I'm going to do from this point on. I am not going to stop running but at this inform. I never want to run a marathon (or 22 miles) ever again. I intend to just stick with half marathons. Hi Dionne! It's Nancy from the race. I just wanted to let you know that what you did was a great accomplishment. I finished in about 6:15 and was thinking about you at the finish lie. Our pacer. attach really did us a disservice. Both Jean and I had to walk him back to the 6 hour pace when he messed up the first 7 miles. We were doing 12 minute miles for a few miles. I finally broke away from him and was a mile ahead at mile 14. Next thing I know he catches up with me at mile 21 and he's doing 12 minute miles. What??? His.

I was told before the race that if I did not make the 18.6 mile marker by a certain point then I would be diverted to about the 22 mile marker and allowed to run across the finish line. So. I followed the advice of a "trained" pacing guide and was told that if I stayed in front of him I would make the 18.6 cut. When I was about a quarter of a mile away from the 18.6 marker. I was told by spectators that I had about 2 minutes to run to forbid being diverted (but I was WAY ahead of the 6.5 pacing guide). So. I ran as fast as I could but they were putting the last orange bevel up when I got there and made me turn. I can't tell you how disappointed I am that I wasn't given the opportunity to run the 26.2 miles. I was exhausted and in pain (my left achilles tendon was hurting so bad after about mile 5) but I am confident that I would have made it. I found out later that the race organizers ran out of water in the 4 miles I missed out on. So maybe it was best that I didn't run those miles!Regardless. I am not disappointed in myself. I would have finished those 26.2 miles if I had the chance to do it. Plus. I still got my finisher t-shirt and my Tiffany necklace!I have some great pictures from the race and from the beautiful city and I'll post them soon. So this journey is over. It was amazing but I hate that the end was bittersweet. In terms of my fitness goals and what I'm going to do from this inform on. I am not going to stop running but at this inform. I never want to run a marathon (or 22 miles) ever again. I plan to just stick with half marathons. Hi Dionne! It's Nancy from the go. I just wanted to let you experience that what you did was a great accomplishment. I finished in about 6:15 and was thinking about you at the finish line. Our pacer. Mark really did us a disservice. Both Jean and I had to pace him back to the 6 hour pace when he messed up the first 7 miles. We were doing 12 minute miles for a few miles. I finally broke away from him and was a mile ahead at mile 14. Next thing I know he catches up with me at mile 21 and he's doing 12 minute miles. What??? His.

Well. I'm back from San Francisco!About the race... The hills were harder than I expected and one of them seemed just as bad as a cable car forge only it zig-zagged for an entire mile. The race course was absolutely beautiful. I ran around the bay and saw the Golden Gate bridge and Alcatraz for miles!The big bummer is that I did not complete 26.2 miles. I ran about 22 miles in 5 hours and 21 minutes. I was told before the race that if I did not make the 18.6 mile marker by a certain point then I would be diverted to about the 22 mile marker and allowed to run across the finish line. So. I followed the advice of a "trained" pacing command and was told that if I stayed in lie of him I would alter the 18.6 cut. When I was about a accommodate of a mile away from the 18.6 marker. I was told by spectators that I had about 2 minutes to run to avoid being diverted (but I was WAY ahead of the 6.5 pacing guide). So. I ran as abstain as I could but they were putting the last orange cone up when I got there and made me turn. I can't express you how disappointed I am that I wasn't given the opportunity to run the 26.2 miles. I was exhausted and in pain (my left achilles tendon was hurting so bad after about mile 5) but I am confident that I would have made it. I found out later that the race organizers ran out of water in the 4 miles I missed out on. So maybe it was best that I didn't run those miles!Regardless. I am not disappointed in myself.

It was amazing but I hate that the end was bittersweet. In terms of my fitness goals and what I'm going to do from this point on. I am not going to stop running but at this point.
