Incredible story. I wish there was a way to follow it up.

I just yesterday said to my cousin (who recently lost her son to this horrendous disease) ‘someone needs to develop an early test for pancreatic Ca’. Lets hope this pans out. I have known several people who lost theirs lives to pancreatic ca. All because it doesn't show symptoms until it is already too late to help them.
To: Puzzleman
I hope he goes far in life. I lost my dad to this disease.
Pancreatic cancer is nasty stuff, 100% mortality.
God Speed, young man.

WOW, this is huge. My mother in law died from this, they didn’t discover it until about 2 months before she died. She’d been feeling badly for about year. And they thought my brother in law had it. He had to go through some intrusive tests to find out, he didn’t have it.

Interesting, he says in the article that it should be effective for other forms of cancer including ovarian and lung. He patented the idea so if this thing really works I expect he will not need student loans to pay for his medical school training. Great story.

Stellar work, young man. I have high hopes for today’s youth when I hear of stories like this.
I just lost a friend to this disease only two weeks ago.

“He says a bio tech firm in San Diego has been interested in his test, and will help perform clinical trials on his product in order to win FDA approval”
Why do you need FDA approval? It’s a paper that detects a protein?
Thank God for this brilliant young man!

The optimistic side of me says Thank God for this young man and may he be greatly blessed for this discovery.
The cynical, dark side of me says, how did this simple test for a specific protein escape the view of big Pharma and thousands upon thousands of pedigreed medical researchers all these years?

This is awesome.
Perseverance on the young man’s part.
Willingness to risk on the part of the prof at Hopkins.
And now, a potential breakthrough in this horrible disease.
Way to go!

WHOA THERE!! A medical test developed by a private citizen?!? Quick, get this kid to a re-education camp errr I mean Ivy League school so he can learn never to do anything like this again without the supervision of government.
To: Puzzleman
Congratulations to this young man for a truly brilliant and innovative idea that has the potential to save thousands of lives.
