@virginiae What I asking is how you knew the actual amount of benefit. When I took the BCI, it was just benefit or no benefit. Yes or no. Have they changed the way they report results?

If so I want to redo mine! Hope you can answer: this is important!

I don’t know if they’ve changed the way they report, but my oncologist explained to me the relative benefit and put it in terms of a percentage, which was very small. If there’s benefit, it still has to be weighed with quality of life impact. If I was tolerating the medicine well, I would have been inclined to keep going at least a couple more years. But I was not tolerating it and things were getting worse. I’d talk to your oncologist if you have concerns but if your test said no benefit, whyyy would you want another?
