Hmm, I am a long term survivor of Kidney Cancer without this drug. I had Chemo, Surgery and I feel like new..

I am concerned about trying this out against a placebo, is that even ethical?

RAD001 actually has been around for quite some time, it failed in Leukemia and I hear it is failing miserably in Lymphoma. Additionally, patients who had to take the drug couldn't stay on it the side effects were horrible...

Me thinks the Novartis Share holders will have more to add to their lawsuit. What goes up artificially, must come down with a thud...
