Latest Update: Congressman Dan Burton has taken up our cause and took the initiative to call the CEO of the company who developed the drug, GenVec, Inc. He is also contacting the entire Indiana delegation to ask them to do the same. I’ve been a big fan of Cong. Burton’s since impeachment days, but he’s gone above and beyond and my family will be forever grateful. We have also gained an ally in the Abigail Alliance for Expanded Access, and even GenVec’s largest shareholder offered to call the company on our behalf.
Our fight is far from over, but Thank You to the many kind and compassionate Freepers who have given my mother and my family the strength to wage this battle.
God Bless You All!

UPDATE 4/7/08:
ABC’s World News Tonight with Charlie Gibson will be covering our family’s story tonight regarding our efforts to gain access to a promising new treatment for my mother, Connie, who was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in August 2007.
Thank you all for your support, notes and prayers - our family is hopeful that this exposure will compel the FDA and the company who developed the drug, TNFerade, to work out their differences to allow my mother and other to receive this life-saving treatment.

Prayers for Connie & family
While I very much want to see medicines be safe and all that, the system should be streamlined more to enable those with potentially terminal illnesses faster access to new drugs.
Still praying for you and your family.
