@2011panc, you hit on something there. Some clinical trials provide potential benefit to the study participants as in the case of @burrkay's wife. For Erin @user_chdb5e8ac the benefit of finding a treatment center (Mayo) and a diagnosis was a tangential benefit of participation. However, some trials offer no immediate benefit to the participants. Rather the data collected is invaluable to advance science and benefit future patients. It sounds like that has been a rewarding experience for you.
