Thanks Jackie for the links. I will do a little more research. I have decided to participate and am awaiting the FISH results on my tumor. For some reason it was not done at the time of the MX. I will have blood work done then be randomized into an arm of the trial. I will have to switch oncologists which makes me a bit nervous, but I think it will be fine. I'll keep everyone up to date on how it goes! Wish me luck!
