I keep mixing up the numbers for these studies. It's BYL-719, not 117 or 119. No head for numbers here.

Cheryl,

They have confirmed the growth and, because biopsy is so risky, they are using the percentages to assume mets from the original source. If they can't biopsy (and currently my ENT and the pulmonologist they brought in don't think they can) then we will be proceeding under the assumption. It's not my ideal methodology, but we recognize their model is probably correct.

Either way, it appears to have doubled in size form ~1 cm to 2cm in 6 weeks so it's definitely not going away.

Thanks!
