While all this blame speculation is interesting, we cannot help thinking of all the triple negative breast cancer patients, who have been affected by this CRL decision. According to the numbers about 10,000 women in the U.S. are diagnosed each year. Most succumb to this deadly disease within several months and it defeats almost all later on. If our numbers are correct on average around 80 have passed away just since the CRL announcement on Thursday. Of course 132 would not have saved all of them, but it might eventually help. In addition on average another 27 or so will die today, 27 more tomorrow and so on. The FDA says 132 is safe and effective, so how can anyone justify letting this drag on without a fight? Certainly many people have been shocked by this news and will be trying to ascertain what manufacturing "process" issue could be so unfixable to generate the CRL, especially when there is a 1 1/2 year supply of 132 on hand. Women in general seem to be more assertive every day. Concerned women's organizations as well as all of us should be talking to our representatives to implore them to make this right if possible. To us this whole episode in unconscionable and must be remedied immediately, not months or years from now.
