(she’s stage IV, due to metastisis) makes her inelligible for clinical trials.

Actually, there are now plenty of trials for Stage 4 cancer patients, especially for newer drugs. Jimmy Carter was supposedly cured by a drug called Keytruda, now in trials for several stage 4 cancers.

I look at the current trials because I am stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, and there are trials I would be eligible for, including one running now for Keytruda.

One thing though, for Keytruda, for currently approved drugs and new treatments, it's a 13 week course of drugs to see if it works for you. +/- 25% cure rate.

KEYtruda...hmmmm. Wonder if it is connected in some way to Q’s Keystone.
