I am a patient of Dr, Drachman. I have been for over three years for MG. After being denied Cytoxan treatment previously. He yesterday gave me the go ahead. I will more than likely get my start date by early next week. He has to run it by DR. Brodsky who is the Oncologist in the study and who is the money man for the Pharmaceutical company. I will keep you all posted.
