  I am happy to see these new drugs and chemo regimens come into play. 25 years ago I was given AVBD and MOPP along with radiation. It was the standard, and about all there was. But just 10 years earlier had you been diagnosed with Hodgkins in 1978 your survival rate was only 10%, in 1988 when I was first diagnosed, the survival rate had increased to 90%. All because of some very smart researchers looking for and finding new links.
  
  This drug is just another example. We are getting closer, but still a long way away.
