Jim its important for you and your wife to understand that cancer is not a death sentence. In 1985 I had lymphoma, cancer of the lymph nodes. 6 months of chemo and 4 months of radiation and it was gone. 22 years later I am still breathing. A positive attitude is very important to treatment.

Rather amazing thing that I(personally) have started pushing some celebs/execs/politicians that I know to wring peoples arms to get funding, because there is no ROI in it for the drug companies.

It's already a prescription drug, and some doctors may prescribe it off target.
From the U-of-A website:
"We believe that because DCA has been used on human beings in Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials of metabolic diseases, the cancer clinical trials timeline for our research will be much shorter than usual.

Best of luck dude!|thumb
My mother has Lupus/Leukemia, and I ain't leaving no stone un-turned.

I'm very sad also to hear about your wife, I'm wishing her all the best! The best thing for you to do is to stay beside her, it really counts!

Sorry to hear that Jim.

Sending warm positive thoughts from all the way DownUnder to your wife...and to you as you support her.

I realize we've never really spoken, but it's always sad to hear when people get sick. I hope things work out for the best. Like everybody else, my thoughts are with you!

I bought some DCA a week ago. We decided before we took things in our own hands, we would ask the Doctor. She never heard of it. :) And now, we don't want to do anything that might exclude the clinical trial. But, we have a 200 day supply in case the government makes it illegal. And we paid a whopping $85 for that 200 day supply. It is funny that since nobody can own the patent, very few tests are being run on it.

I am at a loss for words... sorry to hear the news Jim. Best wishes for you both.

Well as Obamma put it in the debate the other night. Get the drug lobby out of politics. |bullshit|

Hell, take a day off the war, and pay for the trials that might save millions of lives.|virgohippy|

Jim,
My wife and I wish you and yours the best of luck. As everyone has said, things have come a long way. We hope she has a speedy recovery!
