I’ll keep him in my prayers. I have a few friends with cancer, too and we lost my aunt last year to cancer. It’s vicious!

My friend worked for Chevron at one of the gas stations when he was 16 and is now 31. He got leukemia and has been fighting it for several years now. Of course he can’t sue or do anything because of Prop 65 in California. I’m going to pass this article on to him and see what he thinks. I’ve had several family members pass from cancer and I always look for new treatment news that could help because it is so close to home for me.

I am an oncology nurse and while this sounds wonderful, I need more info. Chemotherapy is very hard on the body, however it does save lives as well. The thing with chemo is that it cannot differentiate between healthy cells and “cancer” cells, so it’s effect is on both. So, this new medication, does it differentiate between the two? Or is it going to cause all of the rapidly dividing cells to “grow old”?
Fascinating news, I hope so. I would love to be out of a job

Let’s see. I bet your question doesn’t Congress and their insurance coverage:-)

Seriously, this is very, very goods news. Chemo is so destructive. It saves lives but certainly takes its toll. Medicine today is awesome.
