Hi Jill and Les,
I understand what you are going through with that trial, when they offered one to me I thought I'm going to go crazy before I made the decision. Finally I accepted it.
In my case I would've had only radiation, that is the treatment for my kind of cancer nowadays,but with going into the trial I received chemo too, which following my oncologist advice, was beneficial for me.
I finished all of the treatments about six weeks ago.
You should ask his oncologist will he benefit from the trial treatment and just trust them what they tell you. But as much as I could understand the whole process, it is that if you are offered to go into the trial you should take it because not everyone is offered one.
They have certain rules and boundaries who is offered the trial, what kind of cancer, how far is gone and similar.
I hope I was of some help and wish you best luck in all.
Vlasta
