Thanks Lani
I feel really frustrated that we POSSIBLY have the cure or at least a long term management strategy YET we still seem as far away as ever.So far it really seems hit and miss, with more toxic chemos which I believe equips the cancer cells to create greater survival strategies! Is it not time now medicine has reached this consensus that they get together and develop trials that either support or disprove this hypothesis?
One question I have, does bone marrow sampling always indicate the prescence of tumour cells?

Sorry to go on!!
