        Thanks for posting this, Joe.  I would love to see this come to fruition.  How great would it be to know in advance if a particular therapy will work for you or not?  No wasting time (or side effects) taking a drug that won't work.  Especially if you have a high tumor burden and really don't have the time to rotate through the options.  This would quite literally be a life-saver.
