My commitment was to go back into the laboratory and develop something that could give people hope, restore their futures. And that's what we've accomplished with Gleevec\u2122 and so now instead of talking to people about well you only have a little while left to live and we're gonna have to give you high doses of chemotherapy with all these long list of toxicity, we're giving people a pill and they're feeling well and they have their hope restored for the future.
