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.....

Bob- I would love to hear what resource this information came from about DNA/biomarker specific for NSCLC being divided by sections of the country. With so much mobility how could anyone have tested this to date? I couldn't find such a fact on Snopes or Wikipedia.

Does this even make any sense to you?
