Your post is very helpful -- thank you!
I am, unfortunately, very ignorant about this disease (and I haven't yet figured out how to get the overview that I need, though reading this board has filled in a lot of gaps), so I *didn't* know that not every cancer is due to a genetic mutation. I had assumed, based on what I've read on this board (and semi-misunderstood) that all are caused by a mutation, and I had inferred that knowing the mutation would help an onc. determine which chemo regimen would be most effective.
Thank you again, and wishing you well.
