We have joined up with Abigail Alliance and Goldwater Institute to support State laws for the right of terminally ill pts who have exhausted all approved options , to get access to Phase II, III trial drugs. those who are too sick to jump the rigid trial hurdles. it allows your dr. and you to sign streamlined consent forms and petition co.'s directly. eliminates the extra fda paperwork from comp use . under comp use law they are just a rubber stamp, and unnecessary delay .
we testified in Arizona last week , and colo. check out our testimony on phoenix ch.3 , azfamily.com , search 'Lorraine mccartin ". ( and phoenix ch. 5 - our friend tracy canter , whose mom couldn't handle the 450 mi. each way ride to cali. to get t dm-1). Cut red tape, save Lives , avoid DC gridlock, equalize access for pts too far from trials. it will not undermine the current trial system -which continues to be slow, small as newer , better drugs can't get to pts. our sickest stage iv's can't wait .... Let The Debate Begin ! Bring It On !
they need pt. testimonies ( stage iv denied comp use ?, trials too far, etc. ) at the statehouse in baton rouge , la. this week. if u live fairly near, travel expenses paid. e-mail me at
