Wink Re: Advice pls : Fresh tumor sample what to do with it?

You might be interested in some chemo sensitivity testing after you do the other lab work. You can do a search on the internet for chemo sensitivity testing and bring the search results to your doctor for discussion.
In chemo sensitivity testing the lab matches pieces of your tissue with different kinds of chemo and/or targeted drugs to see which drugs kill more cancer.
The results might be helpful in deciding which drugs to take.
Good luck.
