Hi there!  Been a while since I posted--just up to "normal" life...whatever that is!  Recently passed my one year anniversary of diagnosis.  I had a physical and my first mammogram since surgery--everything came back "clean"...but now I find myself thinking "so what did they miss??"  I guess that's my new reality!

 

Anyway, I really wanted to post today to ask the question above (which I also posted in the "Questions" section of this site):  Has anyone out there heard anything about research on a possible new drug for cancer treatment called dichloroacetate (DCA)?  A friend sent me a link to this article (http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn10971) and from there I went to this web site (http://www.depmed.ualberta.ca/dca/).  I see nothing new posted there since 2007 which makes me a bit skeptical, so I thought I would throw it out to our experts and community members.  Please provide whatever information you might have about this drug...  Thanks in advance!
