It is wonderful to see members here coming back to share good News.
Can I ask if you know if your tumor(s) had any mutations and/or MSI/MSS status?


It's been so long I don't even remember the mutation status. I tried to access my old records online, but the provider's system was recently "upgraded" and apparently some of those reports weren't converted correctly. I'll reply to this if and when I get the answers.
