Time=Lives

Time=Lives is an effort to elevate awareness of the human toll of a slow, inefficient research system and build support for speeding medical research.

Check out the Time=Lives campaign: http://timeequalslives.org/ Despite the billions of dollars flowing through our healthcare system, it still takes about 15 years, on average, to move a scientific breakthrough from microscope to marketplace. For the more than 100 million Americans living with cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, and others for which there are no cures and few meaningful treatment options, this is simply too long to wait. People are dying every day waiting for treatments and cures, and unless we fix the broad, systemic issues that are stalling progress, this won’t change. To save lives, we have to save time.

Ten years after his diagnosis, chordoma survivor, Bill Dorland, and his NIH oncologist, Dr. Chris Heery, go on StoryCorps to talk about the question that cancer patients often ask, “How much longer do I have?”

Professor Bill Dorland was 38 when he was diagnosed with chordoma, a rare cancer of the spine. Dr. Dorland participated in an NIH clinical trial and at the time of this recording was in ongoing partial response to treatment.
