Medchal,

You follow the people on iVillage closely and often put down what they try to do as some misguided obsession. Have you ever stopped and thought a bit about your own obsession with them?

Whatever motivates the people there only they can know themselves. But, what they do, if successful, will help many patients.

As for you, what will your obsession get you?

Whatever the merits of that message board may be, it does provide an ample supply of material for the iHub OOPS board (including a post there a few minutes ago).

Regarding the phoniness of the board, I concur that it stands out relative to your typical message board. First, there is the outlandish Daily Death Count, as though Provenge were a bona fide cure for cancer. Then, there is the almost universal support on the board for the SPA change to 9902b.

If the welfare of cancer patients were the main issue, wouldn’t you want DNDN to wait for another 56 events (360-204) in order to give the trial the best possible chance to succeed?

From a patient-advocacy standpoint, surely the delay in obtaining 56 more events pales in comparison to the nightmare scenario where: a) Provenge really does have good efficacy; b) the new 9902b trial fails; and c) the old 9902b trial would have succeeded. Regards, Dew
