I was rejected from a clinical trial strictly because I wasn’t local to the clinic. We would have glad relocated for the trial but they didn’t accept that. I’m healthy other than having this cancer.

That's shocking. Was it an insurance issue?

Biden created a Moonshot task force for expediting cancer research as it is becoming an epidemic increasingly affecting younger people. Hopefully, it will not be defunded and dismantled under a new administration. Contacting individuals on this task force as well as congressional representatives concerning this issue may be the best way to expand trials for those running out of options and are willing to participate.
