It is, @gamaryanne.

When you're at your lowest, you have to do intensive research into trials.

Best,

@gamaryanne The issue is searching for clinical trials can be extremely time consuming. Searching for trials is not the purview of the oncologist nor the N.P., P.A. or geneticist. Their job responsibilities and time allotted does not make searching for clinical trials practical. The role of the oncologist is to provide standard of care treatments or an experimental treatment if they are involved with a clinical study. There are a couple of sites that will perform trial searches at no cost and a few that charge for their services.
