Cheryld, I've not heard more about their thoughts on the spot down low that may be on my bowel. I have no reason to expect it's not the same thing. I suppose I should ask about that! Frankly, I hope it is the same thing, because that would mean this targeted new drug would be effective against it!
I'll try to get more info and report back.
