Got diagnosed June 2025 and had my pleurectomy August at the VA here in Norfolk. Now oncologist is asking if I want to look at trials and I'm trying to figure out what the hell I should actually be looking for.
I know stage matters. I'm stage II pleural. But are there trials that are only for certain stages or certain types of meso. Because I'm seeing stuff online about peritoneal and biphasic and I don't even know if those matter for my situation.
Also does location matter that much or am I overthinking it. I can travel if I need to but I'd rather not drive six hours every two weeks if there's something decent closer.
Anybody here done a trial. What actually made you pick one over another. Was it the drug they were testing or the hospital or the oncologist or what.
