Thank you for reply. I was given Dr Wolpin's name by another person as well. I believe he is the head of the group. We are not seeing him, as he is unavailable today. We will see 3 others on his team---med. oncologist, radiologist and surgeon. I will keep you posted. The Hartford drs recommended the genetic testing too, and I have a call in to get that done. It appears from their website that there is only one clinical trial open. We will ask. I think DF can also access MGH trials, as they are all under the same umbrella now. Thank you for reply, and prayers. We are praying to Fr Michael McGivney, founder of Knights of Columbus.

Good Morning,
They may ask to have a biopsy which I had done at my local hospital and they sent to DF. I went to DF for a second option as my cancer is rare and they told me the treatments I’m doing locally would be the same treatment plan they would do for me. Do you know the Cancer type?

Keep in touch and good luck on the appointment
