I have been in three clinical trials since 2009. I wouldn't be here today without them. This last one, while the side effects are very unpleasant, I can still work full time, but from home. That means I can pay for my sons colleges and enjoy time with my spouse. Clinical trails allow me access to cutting edge medicine and have prolonged my life.

I have not qualified for numerous clinical trials do to "co-morbidities". Always being told that "I was not good for the trial". Recently it was explained to me that a trial drug would "not be good for me". Wow, That simple switch of words meant the world to me. Thank you Dr. Estrov.

I love that switch of the words! I will have to keep that in mind!
