It’s great that it only targets cancer cells. The drigs and treatments are getting better very quickly.

My MO already talked about olaparib for the future in case I needed it. But there seem to be better options now as olaparib seems to work not so greatly on ATM mutations (but still better than on non mutated people). I wanted to introduce the subject of BAT giving him some references because when I hinted it he said it’s still not a well tested approach. But I would still like to talk to him about it once I am done with chemo.

I think the CRISPR cas9 will be our salvation!

A friend of mine is betting on that…

Lately I am not sleeping well because I am afraid the problem won’t be a cure itself but the length of a testing process and pipeline that was created decades ago. Knowledge is increasing so quickly nowadays and we are not keeping up on the practical development side.

Plus at 1 to 2 mil per treatment is a little much
