Re: I-SPY phase 2

This sounds like a good chance to be on the "cutting edge" of treatment, Redwolf. If I were you, I would jump at it. Being in any study gives added advantages in treatment options and long term well being. There have been studies to support this.

Thank you 'lizbeth for your informative post.
