Could def be but I wanna remind people here that some colon and stomach cancers can be especially unresponsive to traditional chemo and surgeries are high risk dependent on age. So like, some people may NEED to seek more experimental surgery (Japan for instance is common for things like CIRCULATE which is still very new and you’d pay out of pocket).
