{{hugs}} honey. I've been thinking about you, hoping this whole Patrick Swayze thing wasn't pushing you to a severely dark place.

There are actually businesses/research companies popping up here in the states that are focusing on the less well known/less researched cancers (and other diseases, particularly childhood diseases). I don't know what it means in the long run, but at least there has been some recognition that there are some diseases for which there is little drug research.

I'm sure hearing about it all is frustrating for you.

Aww, fluff. Life is not fair, is it? I've been thinking about you lots lately -- I know this is a hard time for you.
