I was also going to participate in a study here. I hope that your family is OK. We don't hear much about IBS, at least not at NCI. I will certainly keep the board abreast of any such findings. I believe that IBS gets a mere 1% of government funding. Might sound like a lot when you're dealing with millions of dollars, but not when you look at the recent cutbacks that the Bush administration has issued nor when you consider that IBS affects as many people as it does (and that 15-20% of the population count only comprises those who have health care, not the 40 million in this country who do not). I am glad that my words were encouraging, yours and the rest of the board are as well...thanks.
