    So today mum has been offered to be part of a trial, either Neptune which is running now or a new one coming up called Javelin100. 

    I know it's a 50/50 if you get the new drugs or standard chemo. So appt next week at Clatterbridge with the nurses to discuss more detail, sign consent forms etc.

    Needs CT PET scan first and sample going off to US!

    I know a few on here are currently going through this so any advice…
