Thanks Leslie. I have worked for NIH for 30 yrs but missed this great article. It describes the NIH I know. I also was treated for Breast Cancer at NIH using an experimental Chemo (now FDA approved) and full radiation for cervical/supraclavicular nodes.
Guess I've seen research from both sides.Your posting also mentioned the dry mouth study. I am working with that study at NIH and we have space for about 10 more participants.This study(o6-D-0206) does provide transporation (within USA), accommodations and a meal stipend/day.To participate, people need to have been tumor-free for 5+ years.Let me know if you have more questions.Thanks.
