| Low plattet questions Hello listmates, I have a puzzling question about low plattlet counts. I'm stage 4 colom cancer, debulking surgery done on 12/23/05 and have been on continuos chemo since January 06 every two weeks. I'm getting 5Fu, leucovorin, oxilaplatin and had avastin added about three months ago. For quite some time I've had some minor issues with low plattlets.

| Many breast cancer donations only swell corporate profits: s http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2006/08/23/cancer-fundraising.html Wednesday, August 23, 2006 A full third of money donated to breast-cancer fundraisers ends up boosting the profits of their corporate sponsors instead of increasing research, an Ontario study suggests.

King's research found that 64 per cent of donated money is funnelled into research projects. She told CBC News on Wednesday that corporate-sponsored breast cancer fundraising ha |

| Cancer Immu vs Angio vs PD1 Cancer cells travel all over the body when the primary tumor is active, but do not attach. But once the primary tumor is removed, the remote cells ape inflamation and use it to enter another organ. The angiogenesis view is that the remote cells to not have the ability to get blood until after the primary tumor is removed. Now, is it possible the primary tumor actually causes an immune response which is effective against the remote cells, but for which the primary tumor actually has a defense (PD-1?) and when the primary tumor is removed, the remote cells feel free |
| Lawmakers Say FDA Better Clean Up Its Act Note from Ilena Rosenthal: Yes, Mark Probert ... we know you hate Ms Pringle, and from your oh so credible position of being disbarred by the NY Supreme Court and now a flack for the discredited quackbusters, you will use dubious and fallacious arguments to discredit her excellent reporting. ~~ EXCERPT: According to the Globe, the Manning PR firm paid Dr Gottlieb a monthly retainer of $12,500 for nine months, for working on projects that involved eight companies.
