Do you think that this is fair to your family considering that so many of them won't get the chance to say goodbye properly, and they will obviously grieve much harder as a result?

Considering the fact that a cancer can have secondary tumors which express completely different cytogenetic profiles from the primary tumor, how much will future treatments protocols have to change in order to account for this? Likewise, have you ever encountered a scenario where a certain chemotherapy agent that is sensitive to a primary tumor could confer additional resistance to a secondary tumor, and if so how would you attempt to treat this? Lastly, do you suspect that the ostensibly random genetic variability between primary and secondary cancer cells of the same origin are the result of random mutations or might they result from specific mutations in master regulators that science has not yet identified.
