Can't come soon enough. I hope the trials are successful and move forward. My initial tumor profiling showed a p53 mutation - much greater in my lymph tissue than breast tumor. It is amazing there has been so little work on this as the mutation is so common on so many cancers.

This is great, instead of having numerous trials for breast, prostate, colon, etc. One trial for the mutation. I've been waiting for this time to come. Awesome.

There will be a time when saying we were diagnosed with breast cancer will make us sound like dinosaurs.
