Did anyone have molecular testing done? Did you start a targeted treatment?

    Molecular profiling

    Just had this done 3 weeks ago. Hopefully I will know next week what trial I will be on.

    Ive never heard of molecular

    Ive never heard of molecular profiling. Is that when they look at your tumor tissue? Then evaluate treatment options?
