A blog about research, awareness, prevention, treatment and survivorship of Breast Cancer and all cancers, including targeted scientific research and a grassroots approach to increase screening for cancer, especially in the low income and under-insured population of El Paso, Texas, with a view to expand this new health care model to many other 'minority' populations across the United States and beyond

Two new slim slivers of expectation to do reserach with CPRIT!
It was interesting to hear the CPRIT Scientific Review Officer. At last a person. Appeal of the rejection is possible. Resubmission of our project in spring 2013 is possible, too.
Small chances, but chances is all we need!
However, this waste of time is frustrating. Cancer patients, contrary to paper tigers, do not have idle time to sit around, but need and deserve the best care and research we can give them now!

How one is supposed to get through this huge number of contacts in 4 weeks is a mystery... especially when one already works a full time+++ schedule...
