Re: A newly diagnosed family member-- with a few questions

@Shirley

The tumor shrunk from 9cm to 2.1cm - that is amazing. And only 4 treatments of TCH instead of 6. That is better yet.

So pleased to see treatment changing. It took awhile for neoadjuvant to catch on, but it is really hot. I searched the clinical trials and there are large numbers of pre surgery options. And with luck - it will result in a more rapid number of fast track approval and a lower number of patients agonizing over the question "Did my treatment work?"

Still I wish we could have Rational Therapeutics in a clinical trial so we could use the cancer cells as test dummies, and not the actual patient. This is a no brainer.
