Important: this study is not DES specific but obviously DES Daughters and Mothers should pay attention.
* Judge-ordered negotiations between Eli Lilly and plaintiffs in the DES Breast Cancer case not going well. The first lawsuit was settled in Jan., but no settlements have been hammered out for other DES Daughters who've filed suit. Lilly's Annual Report gives a clue. On pg 80 of the 100 page document it says:
We believe these claims are without merit and are prepared to defend against them vigorously. More trials if no settlements.
