Living Proof

I enjoyed this movie. It is based on a true story. This was very sad. This doctor has found the cure for cancer. At least for a certain type of cancer, he thinks. But to get it passed he needs money, and no one wants to give him money. One of his patients wife who was cured from cancer decides to raise money so he can continue his research. To get the drugs approved, he has to jump through hoops. He has to follow very strict guidelines and is forced to refuse some patience just because they aren't sick enough, or their not at a certain level.
The first trial went great. but the doc couldn't use the same people for the real trial. the real trial he had to choose people. it was a hard decision, but he finally got his group together. Through out the trials he loses some of the ladies, whose cancer was too advanced and killed them first. once he finished the first round of trials he has to wait about 6 months before he can get started on the 2nd round. by the next tests it's a couple of years. but after a couple of years the drug gets passed.
It's amazing how long it takes to get drugs passed.
Good movie.
