Now that it's been published they have been approving it...so hopefully that means smooth sailing at this point. Fingers crossed anyway.
Well here's to hoping they will approve the trial then! Gosh, why does it have to be so complicated all the time, right. I mean, yes, I fundamentally understand, but from a patient's POV it's tough!
