Re: Dr. Edith Perez give great stats....
Sarah,
I did find the following article which explains some very promising techniques in treatment for the later stage patient. Especially interesting is the study on vaccines at the UNC. The vaccine is not to prevent but to increase the bodies immune system to fight the disease. This is especially useful for those who are at a later stage and not NED - and a big leap - being customized for the patient.
