Good luck to you @otis123. Wishing you the best! Is there a particular reason you chose Duke? Was it because of proximity to home/location? Some other centers that have been talked about are MD Anderson, Mayo and UCSF so I'm wondering what led you in particular to Duke?

On January 6, 2021, I contacted the Cleveland Clinic, Duke, the Mayo Clinic, Sloan Kettering, and Mass General. A phone call from Duke on January 7 is what led us to visit them. We live in Cortland, NY, so it certainly is not close to home. A lot of the other clinical trials I read about excluded people who had been on Avastin. After hearing details about this D2C7 trial and that folks participating are still alive and well after five years with glioblastoma is very encouraging.
