Hi Adriana,
I had tumor profiling done on the mets in my lungs. My oncologist sent it to a lab called Precipio Diagnostics in New Haven CT - it is staffed by senior pathology doctors and researchers from Yale Medical School. Their report showed I had a genetic mutation and matched the mutation with FDA approved treatments that have been shown in clinical trials to be effective with this type of mutation.
Becky posted a "sticky" about my experience on this board. I am happy to PM if you have specific questions.
Good luck,
Kim (from CT)
