Small question: How do you get into a trial like this? Did someone choose you? Are trials like this announced somewhere and you did apply? Word-of-mouth? Someone related who works in this field?
It's hard to imagine how it feels to be diagnosed with cancer but I guess in many cases, if the outlook looks dim, a trial like this would make the most sense? Or not?
Getting into a trial usually involves a lot of criteria that the patient has to fulfill (age, subtype and stage of the disease, results of various tests, all kinds of other treatments not working, mutations or lack of them, good performance status, good organ function). If the patient fulfills them their doctor just asks them.
