Are MS'ers willing to have LPs for clinical trials?

Please help out with Prof/Team G's survey to find out how willing MS'ers are to have LPs as a way of assessing effectiveness of potential neuroprotective drugs. All MS'ers can participate, not just PPMS'ers (as denoted in the blog post). Link below!

Hey! I m going to start Mavenclad pretty soon and I’m a little scared of the cancer side effect. My doctor reassured me that it is, in fact, very rare and I know that it happend in clinical trials, where the dose was higher. Anyway, from what I’ve read, it is a pretty good medicine. Anyone on Mavenclad that can tell me more about it?
