    Cuba has faced more than 50 years of US sanctions. Now, for the first time, a unique drug developed on the communist island is being tested in New York state. But some American cancer patients are already taking it - by defying the embargo and flying to Havana for treatment.

    Good.

    It's time they end it anyways. It never worked. I believe it had the opposite effect to what was intended.

    Thx Max for sharing this anecdote of hope. Effective pain management must be pursued, especially for cancer. In this instance, there seems to be a great chance for remission, if not a cure. More medical research needs to be pursued on all fronts. Its one of the reasons I personally participate in folding@home http://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/foldinghome.html

    Yes indeed.
    Also, it might lead to treatment of other cancers.

    Cuba has better medical stuff. I have always said to my friends with cancer ... go to Cuba. Big Pharma don't control them over there.
