Greg-
I am shocked to read about Dr. Sloand. She was the PI when I did the trial back in 09 and Matt Olnes, at the time, was the attending. I knew when their roles switched that her husband had been very ill and that was the likely reason for the change. That is really sad. I know she was extremely focused in her work. We are fortunate, however, that Dr. Matt Olnes is also exceptional! I know we are in excellent hands with him as the PI.
One thing I will say to you, PATIENCE!! You need to have it. Your counts will go up and down for a little while yet. It took me 6 months to really see the success of Campath. Don't get discouraged!
Thanks for the news. Good and bad........... A sad loss to the NIH.
