I had genetic testing here in Glasgow. It sounds the same as you are getting, they gave me a questionnaire and asked for family history. My mum had had lots of polyps removed, and her mum had died of lung cancer. After completing the questionnaire they got tissue from the lab to test my tumour. My m...

Hi, this is definately a difficult decision. I took part in the Scot trial and had xelox for 4 cycles over 3 months instead of the standard 6 months treatment. It was very definitely my choice to take part in the trial, and I had found out about it before I went to see my oncologist. He mentioned th...
