Jen43 -
When will you be seeing your oncologist? Earlier you said that it would be "soon".
Afterwards, when you have some time, would you then be able to let us know how the meeting went?
Thank you

In addition to MSI testing I would insist on getting NGS molecular profiling of your cancer (this will likely include MSI). Getting NGS at diagnosis is really SOC now. In your case i might also consider getting a circulation tumor DNA blood test. The science on ctDNA isn’t settled. But if it comes back negative, it’s unclear what it means. But if you get a positive, I would definitely do chemo. Now if you’re going to do chemo anyways, probably no need for a test.

Since age four, he shocked his family by announcing that his symptom-free grandmother had lung cancer
(which medical testing soon confirmed).

Yeah I consider myself to be pretty heavily on the evidence-based side, and I found this book pretty tough to get through.
In defence of my countrywoman, at least Dr Cabot is an MD, though this doesn’t automatically make any of her claims credible either of course.
