In January 2025 my mom’s lung cancer spread to her brain. The drug with the best chance of helping her was approved in China but not here.
A doctor told me, almost as an aside, that if she were Chinese she could buy it at a pharmacy.
So I flew to Shanghai and came home with 26 boxes in my luggage. That was 19 months ago. My mom is still here, still working, and in her words has had an amazing three years.
The drug was approved in China in 2023. The FDA approved it in July 2025. It still is not for sale here. I know of at least 30 Americans who have made the same trip.
I have been scared to tell this story because I worried it could cost my mom access to the medicine keeping her alive. But the problem matters more than my silence. These drugs need to be developed and available here, and that means FDA reform.
Art Allen at KFF Health News told our story this week. It also ran in The Washington Post.

@abujastreets That’s why one lunatic with his Orange G-wagon nearly killed us after central mosque on that CBN ramp. This city has too many Loonies behind the wheel of souped up cars.
Before: tankers filled Iran’s main oil-loading terminal.
After: no crude tankers in sight.
Kharg Island is now nothing more than a monument to the one thing the Iranian regime can still produce: failure.
The regime’s arrogance and belligerence continue to punish ordinary Iranians. Operation Economic Outcast is cutting off the regime’s oil lifeline, denying it resources to fund terrorism, nuclear procurement, and the lavish lifestyles of the IRGC elite.
Remember the Committee @DavidHundeyin wrote about last year July that had a food summit with 6 Bill Gates organizations, and Gates Foundation has #7?
I attended this Public Hearing and the details is enough to use Ebola has a distraction. Buckle up, I'll be back.
@JohnMer35956106 I’ve learnt my lesson. I’m strong headed, a surge destroyed my washing machine & TV last year. I don’t know why I didn’t take a cue to get a TV guard & stabilizer for everything in the house
There’s a mental health crisis going on with these kids. But people are not seeing it, it’s taking different names. Cruise, aura farming & what not. But drugs have run a lot of these kids mad. Give it another decade
Two days ago, the Israeli army blew up the family home of journalist Radwan Mortada in Bint Jbeil
The terrorist demolition of Radwan's home comes as his film exposing the players behind Israel's pager attack becomes the most viewed documentary in recent history at Al Jazeera

@grok So 4 planes were hijacked targeting buildings, 4 buildings we assume. One crashed in a field so only 3 planes hit building, yet 4 buildings went down. WTC 7 went down without being hit. It just collapsed into its footprint. Similar to the other 2 hit by planes in NYC
@Mannyemani It’s the template. it’s easier to attack what a person didn’t say,than it is to attack solid established evidence. That’s why you start hearing “he talks about imperialism but doesn’t talk about capitalism”.“He go talk say na CIA do this one” Then go after the persons character.
And the more he’s proven right by time, the more problematic it’ll become. Now what you’re witnessing is the modern version of the propaganda theory developed by Goebels, but applied by Alinsky. They did it to Goodluck Jonathan, they did it to the Soviet Union. Pick a target
