      I think it just happened so maybe Tim or MRF can confirm this?

              Yes–I was on the phone with the company when the announcement came out.  I have posted the announcement as a separate post, and should be able to provide more information on cost, etc, later today. 

              I think we all know that this is not a home run–the response rate is in the low 20% range.  But it is, nevertheless, a big step forward.

                  I think the first drug to extend overall survival and the first to be approved in 13 years is very exciting.  Most definately a big first step in that home run we all want to see.   Now we need to figure out how more people with Stage 3 can get it.
