More information is coming...here's what we know as of now.....
Linda will begin her clinical trial next Thursday....
On Monday, Linda meets with her Oncologist, Dr. Sandler, to assess her general health for the trial....as well as blood tests.
On Wednesday, Linda will have a CTscan, a brain MRI, an EKG, and a Echocardiogram.....all to assess her ability to participate in the trial.....
As we understand it, the trial involves an infusion once a week for three weeks and then one week off...
We are finding out more about the tumor biopsy.....it appears Linda is assessed as "wild-wild" for the two mutations.....this we are told is the best group to be in for the trial.....EFGR and KRAS mutations to be specific....beyond that we are just start to understand the specifics....
Again, the ostomy "take down" is not on the horizon now....

I have to second the opinion from Mary. That "wild wild" seems to fit. And I mean that in the best possible way. :D
May God bless you and heal you as walk down this new path toward health.
