I find this perspective interesting. It doesn't sound like you're requiring that we have certainty about having addressed the cause. Instead it sounds like you want to simply experience a ceasation of the disease process and that a reversal of damage could be a separate issue, albeit an important one.
It is my understanding that some, such as Dr. Weiner, have stated that 3 progression-free years would be the minimum for a personal "cure". While I understand that this doesn't identify the cause, I find it interesting. Ken
