When we went to Sloan my husband was still being treated locally with chemo. We sent all his test results to Sloan ahead of our visit. They gave us their opinion based on them. At that point we were told that they woudn't have done anything different up to that point so we continued with treatment here. When it became obvious that it wasn't working we went back and my husband got on a trial. From then on they took their own tests.
