Remember the search box tool here is your friend as well as the "bookmark" function to easily save threads for future reference. Your doc may have something up his/her sleeve for next steps, however learning about & applying for clinical trials is a process. Can't hurt in becoming familiar w/options now, seeing what you may qualify for, which ones may exclude you from others, if some travel is doable. Providence PDX has immunotherapy trials. Whether or not you meet the criteria locally, timing, etc. may be an issue.
There is only one you, but the docs have lots of patients. Be your own advocate best you can. :)
