Very Probable Recurrence (Update about my mom)

Wishing you and your mom the best
If your mom's original tumor samples are available definitely ask about FoundationOne testing. I am currently on dostarlimab but did two rounds of keytruda first. My understanding is you need testing from an FDA approved lab to confirm the genomic characteristics of the cancer cells to confirm the immunotherapy is the right one. Not only was a confirmed with mismatch repair deficiency and borderline MSI--which allowed both Keytruda and dostarlimab, but I also have the BRCA2 mutation which opens up the possibility of a PARP inhibitor if the immune checkpoint inhibitors don't work. The science is rapidly advancing!
Both of you hang in there!
