This way we may be able to make a contribution to the welfare of others and seek true understanding on whether this drug DCA works. The results from any trials done by the UofA will take 2 years from start up date. If done analytically with no predetermined agenda I think this board could become a powerful research tool instead of a group of antidotal reports, which is much less meaningful. At some point after enough information can be collected to even be published. My wish is we can a group of intelligent very motivated individuals that we have gathered on this board and work collectively to produce some meaningful information be it positive or negative on DCA which has the potential to open up a whole new class of anticancer drugs based on the inhibition of tumor metabolism.
I will gladly donate whatever time it takes to get the medical intake forms developed but I will need help since my computer skills are limited I know there others whom have discussed this if we can come together this could be powerful way of helping everyone not feel so alone.

I would like to try and get a list of people willing to help and what expertise they may have to assist in this endeavor.

Susan1 is heading that up and already has a rough one set up. So excited that you're on board with this. So far I was their only patient!

I've followed all your efforts since DCA news appeared with great interest. I'm willing to help in anyway i can. I'm a web developer pretty confortable with web applications, databases and general web interfaces so if there is anything you need to get this started, do contact me.

Regards,
Machado

My husband has exhausted all conventional cancer treatments, surgeries, and some non-standard (e.g. gene therapy in Beijing, China). We have never lost hope and continue to expect to find something that will extend his life (although our doctors have told him to go home and do nothing).

Over the past four years we have acquired first hand experience with many cancer treatments and extensive disease knowledge through cancer research. We have learned the deviousness of this disease and experienced the many frustrations associated with our medical establishments with their inadequate and imperfect treatments.

My husband will try DCA (self medicated or physician guided) and will contribute the experience and all results to this forum / database. He likens himself to a
‘Flight 93’ passenger, favoring to go down fighting, while ignoring his doctors’ recommendations.

I am a business PM with many technical skills which I will bring to bare for this forum. Please advise how we can participate, and/or assist in a meaningful way. Margaret.Rattenbury@shaw.ca
