Re: New Drug Wipes Out Cancer Stem Cells That Fuel Tumor Growth

Thank you Rich. I know you feel that those stem cells hold the key to fighting this disease. That link just came to me today from WebMD and I know they are not the primary publishers, but I thought that this positive information could be up lifting for many of us. Thank you again for all your widsom.
