Even though this research is still VERY early and not 'proven', I'm glad my onc was up to date, and decided it was worth checking out. She requested a TOPO II test for me (and surprisingly, I didn't have any problems from my insurance company). As a result, I had an alternative chemo, not AC.
I keep watching for more research on this. Thanks for posting it.
