I am happy to report that we were able to get in touch with my mom's DR and get the ball rolling on two things. He has gone forward with sending her tumor off to FoundationOne and we hope to have some helpful information back in 2-3 weeks that could help in finding treatments.
We also began the process of enrolling her in a clinical trial at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philly. The drug is called Anti-PD-1. We are feeling more hopeful today with both of these things happening.
Thanks again for your encouraging words. They mean so very much! Hilary
