If you haven't seen Surviving Terminal Cancer the documentary, as he references in the letter, please, please click to see it: WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY HERE. And Logan, you are a rockstar! Thank you!
Patients, people, are dying! Until we find a way (and I'm guilty of not figuring out how of solve this problem) to take control of the system of how we treat brain cancer, we will continue to die at a 99% death rate. I may not be a good organizer, but I am willing to do whatever I can to get the message out. To work for the cause in a meaningful way. There is so much money wasted on things that don't help us right now, in this moment. I'm sick of wasting money on awareness, on talk. We need to push legislation through to give patients the opportunity to try promising drugs and treatments. We are given no hope, because the things that could help us are tied up in bureaucracy and it will take years even decades to have access. And during that process, many treatments get dropped because they won't make enough money - not because they don't have efficacy.
I am sharing this Letter to Joe Biden to help spread the word of Logan Lo, about his courageous wife. I don't know how to do it, but we need to mobilize the brain cancer movement in order to gain traction. The AIDS activism, with ACT UP, effectively stopped the requirement of Phase 3 trials for AIDS cocktails, getting the drugs to patients immediately.
Nothing will change until we take our frustration, our fear, and anger, and start being heard. We need the equivalent of the Day of Desperation.
