Biden is just an idiot that chose wrong by siding with evil. He is simply blinded to the truth as all lost souls are. I wish him well, and hope his son has a full recovery.

“I must be an evil man for I find it very difficult to muster any compassion for a man who would knowingly and gleefully inflict like suffering on millions of decent Americans through policies he knows in his heart are Godless and wrong.”

Try this:

It is sad that anyone’s son has to go through this suffering, but if someone’s son has to go through such suffering, it might as well be Joe Biden’s rather than someone who matters to America.

Sadly, with clinical trials’ current design, they have to randomize patients and some receive either an alternative or a placebo.

It wasn't a clinical trial. At the time, a new drug [Velcade] was being tested and you had to go thru standard treatment before [maybe] getting selected for the Velcade trial.

What I got was standard treatment - albeit at macro-doses. This was the MD Anderson protocol. Other docs opted for the same treatment at regular doses for their patients.

Those that completed their treatment and relapsed were then in a lottery for the Velcade trial. None of those I knew were selected - and they died.

Me - the mega treatment seems to have worked, at least so far for 10 years. However, if I ever relapse, Velcade cleared clinical trials - and I will be able to get it. Apparently, it really is a miracle drug for MCL.

Velcade may not be a cure for MCL, but it looks like it may make MCL chronically manageable. They need about another 10 years of data on Velcade to know if it is really a cure or not.

Agree Prayers for the son—but I wonder if the symptoms given for the sons medical exam don’t fit the VP as well— i.e. brain fog”/ confusion?joe has certainly manifested his share of such—i.e stand up! spoken to a man in a wheel chair?

I'm sure he will receive the finest of care.

Much as I dislike Biden and his politics, I have to commend him for doing the right thing and putting Family first.

Y’all questioned if MDA care would be given to other than well-heeled folks. ...Here’s a story:

Mother of a friend of mine was in a Fort Worth hospital being treated for cancer. After several weeks and no sign of improvement, her husband (a blue collar Texan) went to the hospital on his daily visit. He grabbed an empty wheelchair in the hallway and took it to her room. A nurse caught him putting his wife in the chair and asked what he was doing.

He told her he was taking his wife out of there and she told him that wasn’t allowed. He suggested strongly that she didn’t want to try and stop him! In the hall, the elevator and the hallway to the exit several people tried to stop him. He basically told them to FO and, once out of the door, picked his wife up and carried her to the car.

He drove from Ft. Worth to Houston and carried her into MD Anderson. She was cared for there with no problems and left with cancer in remission. .......My wife and I visited one day a few years later with them and my friend and his wife. That lady was spry and cheerful as could be, and cooked us a couple of wonderful meals.

Bottom line is that if I am ever diagosed with C, I’m also heading from the DFW area to Houston to MDA, if local hospitals don’t offer their successful treatments!

Wow, how very Christian of you! I bet you will be surprised when no one has sympathy for you in a similar situation. No wait I take it back, how democrat of you.

During the 2008 primaries, gay prostitute Larry Sinclair set up a press conference in Washington to talk about his homosexual date with Obama a few years earlier. He was ready to show his evidence and his witness(es). He was also prepared to talk about the call he got from Obama’s choir director, Donald Young, who was soon murdered. Two other gay men in the choir were then also murdered.
Delaware AG Beau Biden swooped down and arrested Sinclair that day on an earlier warrant and jailed him in Delaware. When Sinclair went before a state judge, Sinclair was able to show that warrant had been dealt with and he walked out a free man.
But the moment was gone. The American people never heard Sinclair’s story.
For that service from Beau Biden, Obama made Slow Joe Vice President.
I, for one, will not offer prayers for Obama and the Bidens. Let Beau tell it to God.

...blow it out your barracks bag. My comment was directed at Biden. His son will get the best care available from a system that he voted and supported to have abolished except for a chosen few. Yeah. My sympathy level is pretty low.
