Thinking of you and hoping that your Mom gets her miracle. I know how hard it is to watch your parent suffer with such an awful disease, my heart goes to you and your Mom.

Really sad to hear this news. He lost his life far too early. This wretched disease has robbed him, his wife and daughter, and his entire family.

I am so so sorry to hear this. I know the pain and frustration and fear with knowing there is nothing left to try. Sending you, your Dad and your family nothing but the best. He is lucky to have you and you are lucky to have him. Enjoy each and every moment that you can.

I'm so incredibly sorry to hear your husband has passed away. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Wishing you and your Dad all the luck in the world

My family has first hand experience with this situation. Memorial Sloan does the circulating tumor test here in the US.

It's advantage is that it gives you information regarding any new mutations that may develop during treatment in hopes of explaining why you become resistant to treatme...

Hello, My Dad got his liquid biopsy results back from MSKCC and they were very interesting! It turns out they found my Dad had acquired a MET amplification between June and Sep 8th when the two biopsies were taken. Our oncologist is suggesting we switch to Crizotinib with Vemurafenib. Our current re...
