... we get our hopes up on a given date for xyz reasons and when that date passes we move on to the next one.
The date we moved past today, was one of many in the MONTH to come. It was a possibility for an ASCO abstract title revealed, but let's face it.
When one looks down at the possibilities, April 30th. and May 31st. looks like the best possibilities for a publication.
TLD should come first. That would be before or on May 18th.
Today was a minor, speculationwise.
We are first getting started and Friday will be first real "shot" at a publication.
Personally, I believe TLD either Friday 14th. or Monday 17th. after hours. One knows that Adam Feuerstein will go absolutely bonkers during the weekend, if Friday the 14th. and will probably mail some 20 ambulance chasers and try to get his FUD printed over the weekend, so Monday the 17th. before opening. ASM the 18th. And then publication Lancet May 31st. And possibly topping with June 3rd. ASCO late breaking abstract.
I don’t agree that anything was made up, though I do agree that chatter on the bulletin boards is leading to many different constantly changing hypotheses about when we could or will find out. No one knows.
