Re: Oncologist says no clinical trials for me
I don't see why a physician would deny someone a trial if they qualified. Perhaps you simply do not fit any of the criteria at the moment. Maybe I am naive, but isn't a "trial" just that? Not specfically a treatment but a blind test of a proceedure or medication?
Your question sounds more like you are wishing for additional treatment as a form of insurance. And I dont blame you for feeling that way.
