anyone you know have cancer ??
- Thread starter new redneck
- Start date
shammy...i agree with the sentiment that the stem cell issue is one of the issues that helped keep some of us softer neocons from slitting our throats in november(i only hope a few cities aren`t rendered unlivable by a dirty bomb before the benefits can be gleaned from this research)...
..... i`m half kidding...not being political...just saying that i agree with your sentiments on the stem cell debate.....
take care,bro....
I have been looking and have not seen any PR on this any place that can show any reason for the movement on this stock. All I can say is I am glad I got in when I did. Thinking about taking some of my profits.

jack, 3 possible reasons for recent pps spike.. all imho... 1 . gern presents this sunday at ash meeting, supposed to release new data on grn163 trials...2. fda to o.k. cloning for milk and beef.. as you know, geron owns worldwide rights to cloning preceedure..3. still about 5 million short shares, most now must be underwater and trying to cover... hope you had a chance to listen to the last presentation, an update on a lot of thier ip.. still available on website.. 20 mins long, worth listening to for all shareholders, and anyone who has been watching this one....p.s. also some speculation that the pricing for the new merck deal will be announced this weekend ????

Shingles in March, staph infection in March

jr11,
I am truly sorry to hear about your wifes illness as I am sure these other mooks are also sorry to hear that as they must have simply overlooked your post.
My Mother had a radical masectomy many years ago prior to the gains they have made more recently. Friends of mine have very recently been treated and won their battle with cancer and I will keep you and your family in my prayers and hope for a speedy recovery for you and your wife. Good luck to you and please keep me updated as to how tings are working out for you.
Take care and try to have a happier holiday than most this year.

FDC,
I don't want to make this into a discussion about my wife under someone else's thread. I am in medical sales myself and have a chemisty/biology degree and am fully aware of this company. FYI, my wife has been treated with embryonic stem cells 3 years ago. There isn't enough room on this site to discuss some of the treatments we have done, with some out of the country. I thank you for your well wishes.

I missed this thread until today.
I could elaborate, but I'll err on the side of brevity.
I am a cancer survivor. Last year, I was diagnosed with an inoperable tumor in my tonsil. I asked for a second opinion at a different hospital and after close examination of biopsy's, Ct scans, etc. a team of surgeons concurred. Prognosis was 8 months to 1 yr. I was offered Chemo and radiation to prolong my life, thus extending it to around 1-2 yrs..
It's difficult to be optimistic when everything point to your demise. However, I went through the treatments and showed marked improvement. I underwent an operation for treatment of the effects radiation had on my skin. Chemo can be an ass-kicker, but was tolerable for me, probably due to the amount of anti-nausea medication.
Of course, its been tough on my family, but I've had tremendous support. I still go for periodic checkups, but they are becoming less frequent. I've had subsequent CT scans, MRI's, PET scans and x-rays. Recently, I asked my doctor "how should I describe my condition at this point"?. Am I in remission or a patient who is recovering...or what?..He turned to me and said the magic words....."you're cured".
I now go to monthly meetings at the hospital where terminal patients receive helpful information on how to cope with their condition. It's heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time, but it allows me to pay back a little something. In the words of Scott4USC.."Fight On" Cancer is a terrible disease, but it can be beat.
On a lighter side. I happened to be hospitalized last year at the exact time our MadJacks golf pool was beginning. I wasn't able to make the picks and I had my girlfriend try to pick my players for me. She knows nothing about golf and put me in a huge hole at the beginning.....actually DEAD LAST! ( no pun intended) I managed to slowly scramble back through the summer and make it somewhat interesting.
For those of you who currently are affected (HokieFan) and those who have relatives who suffer from this terrible disease....don't ever give up hope. I, for one, can attest to the strange workings of modern medicine and faith.
