Sorry to offend anyone. It's frustrating for us in the field of wanting to save lives (I've been doing this for 25+ years before my diagnosis). Language is dictated by FDA and associated announcements. If any of this were sugar coated, we in the industry could not move forward so aggressively. It's a hideously slow process but recently has made significant gains. Never in our history has a drug been approved after phase 2 results but it's a milestone that has been reached.

Again, sorry if I offended anyone, I just can't speak outside of public information. But I feel honored that I'm championing two drugs that are going to help us and will continue to do so.
