CareToLive Returns To Rockville

On Wednesday, April 16th, we wanted to beat the Pope mobile and his crowd so we left early and arrived in Rockville at 4:30 AM. At 4:45 plenty of FDA people had already reported for work and the parking lot was 1/3 full. We decided to protest earlier than the 7 AM we had originally planned.

We went and grabbed some coffee and got our signs ready and started protesting at 5:45. We were able to give out our latest ad and some copies of the Rockville Gazette which the folks took inside the FDA Building.

We were able to raise some more awareness as we shouted things like:

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
Another CareToLive member has died.
Read his son’s sad story in Today’s Rockville Gazette!
The FDA hasn’t responded to our Citizens Petition!
The FDA hasn’t turned over all the documents we requested under the Freedom Of Information Act!
This is an emergency, FDA!
83 Men Die every day in America from prostate cancer!
Help us out FDA!!

CareToLive Awareness Campaign Week #3 — We Are Very Sad To Announce Another Member Died — Part I

April 15th, 2008 | Posted by Rory Kearney
Share This

4/16/08 The Care To Live Awareness Campaign in the Rockville Gazette, continues to confront the FDA to address our Petition for the FDA to Reconsider their decision to delay Provenge in what was an unprecedented action by them to delay a treatment in an end stage disease where no other options exist, despite the fact that Provenge was voted 17-0 Safe and 13-4 Efficacious by an FDA Advisory Panel.

Please email, print and fax our ads to help increase awareness of the Provenge Debacle so we may reverse this tragedy. It is over a year since the Advisory Panel was convened. 30,000 American men die each year of prostate cancer. 1 in 6 men will get prostate cancer in their lifetimes. We need better, safer treatments NOW! The FDA needs to address the needs of the men with end stage prostate cancer, and allow them access to the immunotherapy Provenge IMMEDIATELY!

Stephen H. Study Died without ever receiving Provenge. Shame on those individuals at the FDA responsible for this genocide. They are so concerned about selling men drugs to enhance their sex lives, and have completely ignored the real needs of our men, the approval of drugs that have prolonged survival. Some men who received Provenge in trials are alive 6 years longer.

This is Week #3 of our “In Your Face” Rockville Gazette Advertising Campaign to raise awareness to the tragedy that is taking place in the prostate cancer community. While 83 men die every day of prostate cancer, the FDA sits on our Petition, and refuses to reverse their fatal decision to delay Provenge to the 30,000 men who might have benefitted from it, each year.

WHATS GOING ON

This Is An Emergency!

We rallied outside the FDA building in Rockville, Maryland on September 18th. Now there are buses riding around Rockville and Washington, D.C., further protesting the shenanigans that took place inside the FDA building, as well as outside.

The FDA has gotten caught up with Wall Street. While it is supposed to be busy with evaluating food and drugs, its employees just can't keep their eyes off the money. So that is how decisions are being made these days.
WE'LL BE BACK

These people traveled from all across the country to protest outside the FDA Building in Rockville, Maryland. The FDA has stopped a safe and effective treatment from getting to men who need it now. The treatment is called Provenge and it treats men who have late stage prostate cancer.

The FDA appointed a panel of experts to help it decide on the safety and efficacy of Provenge. That panel voted 17-0 that Provenge was safe. And it voted 13-4 that Provenge showed substantial evidence it worked. And yet the FDA delayed it. Now it could be a year, a year and a half or it could be three years. It could be forever.

These people will keeping coming back to Rockville and they hope others will join them until the courts, the FDA, Congress or somebody does something about this travesty.
