Thank you. Limbo describes this perfectly. Putting emotion aside is difficult. Facts are:
-the mets are small and the trial is aimed at keeping them that way as long as possible, if it works. If not, we likely move to the standard palliative chemo.
-Pursuing chemo sensitivity testing is an option I feel would need to happen now while he is "well" and yes, may open the door for decisions.
-His current oncologist will not support findings from the resulting report from such testing, which means we would need to work with a oncologist that would.

Pandora's box.
