You’re not wrong Bandy.
Think is though ladies and gents, how does this work…. A patient is surviving beyond there given expectancy (since these are sadly end of life patients.)…. Or…… a patient dies. How do you answer the families question on whether or not it was working or whether it was making any difference at all if you don’t take biopsies? It’s all well and good saying as bandy has that it could just be shrinking, but how accurate would any other method of collecting data be, compared to a biopsy, in indicating how well it’s working, if at all? (Genuine question.) I’m just trying to line my thinking up for that crazed our between 7 and 8am when news does land so I can make sense of it all. It just seems like a very odd idea to hammer on with a trial and not know for sure how well it’s working. As a patient I personally would be desperate to know. End of life or not, there would always be hope that it isn’t the end and I’d want the answer to be given with every spec of data they could get.
