MSK is a great place. You're in good hands. You found the colon club, a place with great advice.
Just know that everyone's journey is different, but the clinical trial I was able to do, has met with great success. Back in the day, people - even some people on this board - thought I would be a guinea pig for going on this trial - but I assure you I was never treated this way.
And here are the lastest findings on this trial - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5076474/ the odds are now a lot better.
Ask us any questions, we'll do anything to help.
