[quote=Cheryld]I was going to suggest the same thing, a potential trial drug? See what is available at your cancer center. It's not news you wanted to hear, and sadly scary as hell (been there with my mom - who did have lung cancer) but please try to stay positive - see if they are willing to send her tissue out for matching, I have mentioned it before they have a place in california where they compare her cancer to different chemos to see what works against her/his specific cancer. Hugs and stay strong. [/quote]

What is a trial drug?

I went through some of Caco's posts but found nothing on a place that does this in CA. Tried Google as well.
