@janlanderz will you still be able to go to your appointment next week? Are you able to do the appointment by phone or video?

I actually attended the cancer centre today, but did inquire the day before going if the appointment was still happening since I live 2 and half hours away... I did ask the nurse if they were doing video conferencing...and she said they were in some cases... she did not offer that to me, and since it was my first appointment with this doctor... I did not want to push the envelope... He just explained that the blood biopsy that I had done to see if I had any type of change in my cancer, for a more targeted therapy, came back that there is no change... therefore I did not qualify for the clinical trial/study called CAPTUR... He did discuss, my last results, of my last scan, from my oncologist in the city I live in and he is aware of the one tumor that had grown... I have a CAT scan at the end of May hoping that the tumor that grew is pseudo progression... and if not what my options may have to be... he did indicate there was a clinical trial I could try if radiation was not an option if the tumor does not start to decrease and/or if other nodules/tumors show up..
