I’m glad to hear that things are moving along, and that at least you know some of what to expect. Is there a time line for the DNA/biomarker test results? The sooner the better, as a targeted therapy can really be a game changer. Take care!, Lisa

They will be doing the DNA/Biomarker testing during the two weeks of initial radiation treatment for her brain lesions. The Oncologist told us that interestingly people from the South do not generally have DNA specific NSCLC whereas folks from the east/west coast generally do. Have not researched this, but he also said that this will not prevent him from ordering the Garden 360 and other DNA tests anyway.....
