Found this today at my favorite web site:

To good to be true? You decide.

Wishing you all well.

This would be something of a miracle.  I can't believe they are only allowing a test of 22 people.  I would jump on a chance for something like this if my cancer was advanced. What would someone have to lose?

Let's pray the test is a huge success and many more get the opportunity to join in.

Hi smilingoldcoot,

Yes, 'miracle' would be the right word. The reason for testing only 22 guys has probably to do with legal mumbo-jumbo
and the available amount of medication at the time. It would even be more of a miracle if the tests turn out to be successful.
We can only wait and hope.
All the best to you.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. It will be interesting to see the side effects and the outcome in humans. It sounds like we won't have to wait very long for top line data. My fingers are crossed.

The timeline even seems too good to be true, three months and they should know if it works or not.

It's things like this that should give us all hope that we will beat this dreaded disease sooner or later, hopefully sooner.

Fortunately, there are a number of studies looking for that "cure" we all would like to see.  Something like this could be a possible cure to all cancers.  This is the reason I tackled my cancer agressively.  My philosophy is to do whatever is necessary to improve my chances knowing that there could always be something around the corner.
