Theoretically, in a pinch where nothing else was working , couldn’t an aggressive doctor prescribe both and give it a whirl as a one man trial ?

Hi Schwah, I think if I was in that position, and I will be at some point, I would definitely try to do the “one man trial”. I’ve heard that when AIDS drugs were being developed there was some of that going on. Do you think this COPD drug looks promising? If it were to work well, what a breakthrough that would be! Anyway I’m trying to not get too excited since it may not work out. But it does seem that there is some momentum going on with the development of drugs for us. I think the science is understanding more and more about the vulnerabilities of the cancer cells and it makes me feel positive about the future. You feeling the same way?
