Default Living Proof on tv tonight

Thought i'd repost this as a thread. This movie is good - about a breast cancer treatment's journey through the pipeline and the people affected. Change the names and the disease and you have a story much like the GDNF debacle. GDNF was more publicized but it was the breast cancer advocates that have largely led the way.

This movie shows it all - including the small role played by advocates [true story in the late 90s] and the need for a strong champion of the treatment. [GDNF's champion died of a heart attack suddenly]

I give it two thumbs up for including all the perspectives.
8:00 ET. Lifetime channel.
