Hi. Yes. We have researched in PanCan. Actually, we are attending a virtual class on nutrition next week on that site. My wife has gastro issues so traveling long distances is an issue. John Hopkins is involved in her case, so we are hopeful moving forward. With JH advice, she is on a completely new targeted treatment which just started about a week ago. Thanks for the info.
