Guardant

[stdcdabci]

Correction: I see that Guardant is a genomic tumor assay of some sort used to identify biomarkers?; for creating a chemo drug I assume. Has anyone out here done this. Thx, Stan

Yes, It is called genetic testing, some of our cancers have certain mutations that respond very well to certain targeted drugs. This may very well be the future of cancer treatment. They are not considered chemo however. I see from your previous post what your stats are,my guess they will restart Lupron, with either docetaxol or with zytiga, and I think you will get a great response. I wish you the best, we are all here for you.

Would probally be a good move to get your insurance reinstated,these treatments can get pretty costly, keep us posted on what comes of the scan and your Dr appointment
