Hi you'all, I read where a ob/gyn said he would never use this test because it cost too much. Silly boy. This type of preparation for cervical cytology examination will be the standard within a couple of years if cytyc can get their act together. Yes it does currently cost a million dollars or so to save one life from cervical cancer. Yes, it's not really cost effective. But, everyone believes this screening test to be the best for cancer. We are all afraid of cancer, and this is a great way to prevent a lot of deaths. This is a VD transmitted disease and with today's society, we will continue to see a lot of a lot of cervical disease. Despite todays so called sex education, we seem to be educating people to spread more disease at an earlier age. Teach them and they will support it and they will do it. The trend supports more expensive and better tests for cervical tests. The best one according to the FDA is cytyc's. The mailing from the com;any are pretty bad and they are not capitalizing on the FDA approval stuff.
What is wrong with this company. I think they succeed despite their mistakes in the marketing department, but I hate to see wrong 800
numbers and lack of taking advantage of their current advantage.

Yes the stock is up and I am doing ok for now, but they need to get it together in the basic simple stuff to realize the no-brainer that this stock seems to be. Replace the marketing department.
