Feelings of optimism, justified?
So I’ve been reading on this sub that there’s a lot of reason for hope. In the comments, I asked what new developments there actually are, but I haven’t gotten a clear answer. Are there any new initiatives that genuinely justify this optimism?
Concretely, we have the PFSN studies on the background, but it’s unclear what they will yield. There’s also Dr. Powers’ theory, which still needs proper research to even get off the ground. The proposed castration-based therapy sounds very risky. Status of Melcangi’s research is unclear to me, and his suggested treatment with zuranolone has unfortunately already been tried without success. My humble opinion, these 3 ‘projects’ each, do not seem te be anywhere near safe and reproducible treatment for pfs.
Given all the optimism I’m reading here, I’m wondering if I’m missing any other initiatives beyond these three?
