A LITTLE PROGRESS

New research out of Yale University holds promise for an extended period of survival for OVCA victims.  Note:  it is not a cure.  It involves the combination of two drugs, one I am familiar with (bevacizumab) and another that seems to be new (ixabepilone).  Bevacizumab (Avastin) works by interfering with the tumor’s blood supply.  What ixabepilone does is beyond my current pay grade, but I will do some research and, if I am enlightened, I will share it with you in a Comment.  So, again:  not a cure, but progress none the less,
