201 positive and 301 coming up on the rails fairly quickly seems closer to reality.

Yes I was clinging to the wreckage at that point but sheer stubbornness kept me here. A lot of trolls back then too and some good guys like the late JC. A Change of direction was desperately needed, a shout out to Fred and Valju too. Onwards snd upwards.

Feb 2015 I invested in Val. What a long and tortuous rollercoaster of despair it has been. I remember I faced a crucial decision somewhere along the line to either fold my cards and walk away with a huge loss or stick and average down as close to the diluted share price as possible. After a day or two I decided to stay invested and pump in more 0000s and stay the course. The share had been diluted so much by this point and the share price had got so low that me putting in another 10K got my average down by 50% although it’s hard to recall exactly. It’s Hard to believe the turnaround since these dark days and that we may be on the cusp of a great 2022. I’m glad I made the choice I did. Foolhardy or not, time will tell.

If the Japanese pharma has been investigating Val301 for close to 2 years does this indicate at least a level of interest? Or is that too simplistic? If they weren’t seeing anything promising by now you would think they would have dumped it like a hot potato. Could it be to do with financial year planning and budgets? Waiting for April and the next budget cycle etc?

Looks like a welcome descriptive clarification to me. Lets leave the minutiae of the deal to Dr Dilly.

I think you are mixing up 'expected' with 'guaranteed'.

Hi Pinfinder Yes it’s very odd, I would guess a psa blood test is far cheaper than a mammogram for example.

As a positive Christmas message my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer when he was 70, an mri scan showed there was no spread around the body. He had 6 weeks of radiotherapy as a treatment. Ever since He has had a 6 monthly blood test for psa levels and it has been below 2 ever since his treatment which was 15 years ago. He is now 85 and still going strong.

Yes. Always found it curious when men don’t get offered an annual screening.

How long does it take for an undisclosed Japanese pharma to test 301? Is 6 months the "norm" in this scenario? A year? Longer? Or is this a how long is a piece of string type of question?
