news from ASCO-- some joyous, some a downer--may set things back a bit

[phil]

the lack of full approval for perjeta is one of Our Stage IV Rights issues. at last Falls' Metastatic BC Conference at Farber , i asked about it . Farber said that This FDA " had no timetable for full approval of Perjeta ', for Stage IV. There is no sense of urgency at the top of the FDA or in the Boardroom at Big Pharma. They are far removed from Our Stage IV Reality - they pity us but do not respect us - and our Big Advocay groups don't understand or represent us . Some are in the FDA camp - BC Action is one and they sit on our bc FDA Advisory Commitee !! We need our own Stage IV Rights Advocacy Group - open to activists fighting all terminal diseases !
