TWO THINGS:




VIDEO: 2-year-old who fought rare ovarian cancer is now cancer-free
                   
                                          Kerri


Do you need proof that the Devil is real and is out to get us?  Well, read this article about a beautiful two-year-old stricken with a rare form of ovarian cancer.  Do you require evidence that sometimes God, or maybe medical science, or possibly both, can frustrate the Devil’s most nasty tricks.  Then read the same article.  It appears that our Unfriendly Companion got his ass kicked – at least for now.  Way to go. Kerri!


A few days ago I suggested that you remember the drug name Olaparib, which has proven to be an effective “maintenance” drug.  This means that Olaparib will, often, significantly prolong remission after initial therapy.  Well, drug giant AstroZeneca has obtained approval for a drug, called Lynparza, which does the same thing.


But, oh heck!  Further research indicates that Lynparza is just another name for Olaparib.  So now you have two names to remember.  I wrote about Olaparib a few weeks ago.  Right now I feel a little stupid.
