LINDA AND BUTCH
The original "fraidy cat"
There is a type of OVCA known as “hypercalcemic small cell
ovarian cancer” that is exceedingly rare, strikes young women, and (heretofore)
had been considered incurable. However, recently
four desperate young victims “banded together”, via the internet, and demanded
that their doctors try immunotherapy – despite the fact that medical science
was certain that it wouldn’t work.
Well, what the heck – it DID work!
The young women are alive and prospering. Now medical science is scrambling to understand
why. And “they” are testing some ideas.
We’ll beat the sombitch yet!

This seems to relate to the same disease, although I can't tell if this is the drug the four women demanded. Anyway - progress.
