Celina, as Esther states, the cost of the treatment and any related tests to monitor the effectivness of the treatment are covered by the trial sponsers. But, any tests or scans your sister may need to determine if she qualifies for the trial are usually the responsibility of the patient. If her doctor in Canada is cooperative, the necessary scans/tests can be ordered by her onc there as part of her ongoing care, and copies of the results sent to the trial people. In qualifying for the UW/Seattle trial, my onc and his nurse talked directly with the UW people to coordinate the appropriate scans and paperwork. Good luck!
