In the end the one scientific fact that will make the biggest difference overall is HOW MANY "people are living longer"
I agree that the discussions are "boring" that seem to be trying to pick fly pepper out of poop. Many however do see the benefit of these endless dissections as important to the overall understandings.
Patients in the end will be moved by success not science and the fact that we know "patients are living longer" will be enough for them.
That said approval of use has many political aspects. And so far all the hurdles have been overcome by LP slowly but surely. I look for her to continue to succeed... slowly.
I have come to believe that when the final gathering of facts begin and the number of patients alive is known the good business news alluded to at ASCO will be forthcoming. I am looking for that news to happen anytime now but definitely before the end of August.
