The finish line is in sight. We are ready for our site visit on Thursday, assuming the government is open for business! This has been so much work for so many people, but our cancer center and its exceptional work are wonderfully presented. We have much to be proud of and I, for one, cannot wait for us to strut our stuff on Thursday. I also cannot wait for Friday!
I am writing this blog from the AACI meeting (American Association of Cancer Institutes) in DC. Michael Vander Hoek and I presented at a session entitled, “Expect the Unexpected; Coping with the New CCSG Guidelines.”
I will be spending the next two days at the GU Executive Committee Retreat here in town, and will be happy for the distraction from CCSG monomania.
When all of this is done, I very much look forward to executing the exciting plans we have developed for the cancer center, and to focusing more on my lab. But, no matter what happens I will forever be energized by the marvelous way in which we all came together to develop our cancer center. By doing so we will achieve our highest level of impact to prevent and cure this most terrible set of diseases.
Have a great week. I know I will have an interesting one!
