Re: Prayers are answered ~~~
Sheila,
Wow..Congrats!! Happy dance, happy dance.
I vote TDM-1 the miracle drug. I fully agree with your logic that you could use the TDM-1 and then (IF) you needed to you could use the Tykerb as a fall back.
Rich...our resident attorney gave great advice to get agreements in writing regarding the Tykerb to save time. But of course...we know you won't need it.
I am thrilled for you and also wanted to let you know that you are an inspiration to us all in terms of being your own advocate and NEVER, NEVER taking NO for an answer.
AWESOME
