    Hooray!
    I, too, saw this on the news, but didn't digest it fully. There have been great strides in cancer therapies in recent years. This makes me feel really hopeful.

    This was sent to me a few
    This was sent to me a few days ago. Now if they could only get the funding to expand on the study. This along with the stem cell is the most promising of all the studies that I have read about. I called the University of Pennsylvania in Oct/Nov when I was trying to get into either this study or one at Johns Hopkins, but they never got back to me. It is so promising, that I keep hoping that this will be approved and come available during my lifetime. How I have prayed that they can turn these stage iv cancers into a chronic disease rather than a terminal one.

    camul .. so eloquently stated
    good news indeed. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed that funding becomes available.
