Hi Seth, John was in a PDL1 trial. Although it did not work for him, there were others for whom there was some tumour reduction or the tumour stopped growing. This was information given by his oncologist who is in charge of Phase 1 trials at the hospital. With the trial drug, there were few side effects -- certainly nothing like chemo -- although John did have diarrhea for two or three days after which Imodium took care of. Do talk to your doctor about what results they have seen in the patients in their trial group.

Sending you some positive vibes across the pond and for sure hoping for the best for you.
