Everyone read this post, then take a break. ThEn come back and read it again. This is our future. This will not be just another set of clinical trials testing just another type of "me too" cancer drug. This is going to be THE cancer drug of the next generation, and the FDA will validate that with this designation.

BioHedge... I spent quite a bit of time last night trying to track down where the holdup is in passage. The FDA seems to be all for this. However, our lawmakers are holding it up. There hasn't been a vote on it yet. The letters I sent out have created auto responses, and hopefully, I'll get an answer soon. Once I find out where the holdup is I'd like to initiate a letter writing campaign to the key people that can move this bill.

It's tempting to become a one woman lobbyist for the cause. Too bad I don't live in DC. lol
