any tumor tests to predict which chemos work better?

Hello Rich,
oh do I agree with you. We've got to help pinpoint the correct treatments quickly for all cancers and as you say, the time is when the original tumor is taken out.
I suppose until this becomes common practice, it's up to patients to demand and pay for a test which may at this time be costly, but most newbies have limited knowledge and are too worried about the diagnosis. Also until and unless you know the cancer is "invasive", how useful is it to do considering costs?
The thing is as a group, we could promote and encourage these be done???? I will ask the hospital in Mougins.
thanks
