Re: TDM-1 gets bean counter's salute

Glad they got the bean counter's on board. Now if the FDA would speed things up so we could have access to T-DM1 long before 2013 it would make me, and so many other's ecstatic!

Thanks for sharing that article Rich!

Re: TDM-1 gets bean counter's salute

Rich,

Awesome article! Thanks for sharing. Ohhhh that this would scream through the FDA and be available way sooner than we expect. Tykerb was fast tracked through the FDA...that's what this needs!!

Thanks Rich for keeping us informed and giving us hope.
