Wallstreet Journal Article/FDA Rejects Another Good Ovarian Cancer Drug
The article describing the current drug Yondelis may be worth calling Congressman/women and inquiring into the Office of Oncology Products. Just a thought.
Have a good weekend everyone.

I just do not understand the reason behind rejecting drugs.
I wonder how the FDA tests drugs.. I really don't know much about this. But I am reading about this drug online right now.
People want cancer to go away and stop hurting people.. however, the big hanchos that have to approve/deny stuff deny things that can possibly help people and their families.
Taxol came from a tree, but this new drug is from the sea.. perhaps marine, I think it said in my research online?

I plan on going into the Ovations for the Cure website and checking to see if they are up to date with this most recent article from the WallStreet Journal, also to see if there are any suggestions for helping to follow up with support for new treatments.
This website is great for offering support for each another and our families but if those of us that continue to fight this disease can't make some changes we will be left with the standard treatment and nothing else. I hope to find some ways to do that in addition to belonging to organizations and sending donations. If I find out anything else I will post.
Good luck to you.0
