just saw 60 min i was in tears. I'm so happy that just maybe...just maybe this discovery will work. This man seems so kind...when he spoke about the children battling cancer...i cried.(just when i start feeling sorry for my self,i get a reality check)
Jean thanks for giving us the heads up...so glad i did not miss this. I hope they can speed this up sooner then 4 yrs.
thanks, suzanne

From your Mouth to God's Ears Suzanne,
I was rather excited to hear that the inventor has been raising millions to push this forward sooner, let's up the big money joins in and pushes the time up....
I know how you felt I sat with my husband and we just held hands and were silent.

Jean,
My husband and I just watched the show. Very interesting theory. The following is a link to an article that talks about what was discussed on the show.

Jean,
Thanks so much for posting the link. This was the only way for me to see the story as I do not get the program in my cable company in my home town. I also hope that this becomes soon available for all of us.

Jean,
Thank you so much for the link. It is very exciting. Her2+ cancer is very suitable for this kind of research, hope they come up with trials very soon.
It is so frustrating to see that trials take so much time.
Thanks,
Julie

How Surreal!
Hi Jean and All,
I didn't get to see the show, so I read the story at the link. When I was sitting in the Dr.'s office the afternoon of my diagnosis waiting for my x-ray checking for lung involvement and I read an article about this man in a magazine. It was so inspiring and hopeful, but that was 2 years ago - I wondered how far it had gone since then!
Thanks for posting this!
