Because fully 25 to 30% of men that we treat for cure, are not cured." is hopeful that the vaccine will not only add years to his life, but also help future generations snip Researchers hope the Food and Drug Administration will approve this type of therapy later this year for men in the late stages of prostate cancer. http://www.kfoxtv.com/health/4012250/detail.html Kathy Meadehttp://www.vapcacoalition.org/ Arlington Educational Consulting phone fax "Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." --Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
