Cheri has a client that markets medical stuff. He has many friends. He said that he's heard some very bad stories about trials and has a "hotshot" oncologist friend he's going to ask. I'd expressed some concern about our two doctors already knowing each other and not getting an independent view from them on Sutent vs. the Trial. Dr. Sharma doesn't do that many kidney cancers (no general oncologist will because they are rare) and specialists tend to be guys like Quinn. Will Quinn's concern (recommendation) be to benefit his trial or my chances? These trial guys have to be a bit Machiavellian since they do trials with placebos and need to get people in. So we concluded that I should try to squeeze in the City of Hope right before or after Dr. Quinn to have them weigh the two therapies and/or would they suggest some 3rd thing (darn that would be complicated).
