A Year at my Job
Labor Day Weekend will be the one-year mark for me at my job. I have learned so much about cancer and clinical trials and I have been challenged every day-it has really been an amazing experience. The NYTimes has had a ton of well written articles about cancer research and therapies and related topics, so I picked out a few to link to that I found have found interesting in the past few months. The last article is from the Tennessean and is about one of the trials I help manage - they interviewed my co-worker for information about the trial.
Considering Longer Chemotherapy - NYTimes
Genetic Tests May Reveal Source of Mystery Tumors - NYTimes
Ill Patients Forced to Pay for Cancer Pills - NYTimes
Gallatin cancer patient in drug study has new hope - The Tennessean
UPDATE
Of note, a couple of NYTimes articles have come out this week about Ted Kennedy that I think are interesting, here are the links...
Gina Kolata always writes well about this subject: Kennedy Case Shows Progress and Obstacles In Cancer Fight.

Congratulations, Ingrid, on your first year as a clinical trial manager. You're doing important work.
Dad
I want to say congratulations, too! I am very proud of the transition you have made from student to researcher. You're making an important contribution.
Thanks,Mom and Dad! To be fair, I think the transition is more like "researcher to data manager." Two more articles came out this week that I think are of interest- I'm going to update this post with those links.
