Paltown
The Second Opinion Project is supported by the Lu Family Fund. The Fund was created by Felix Lu, COLONTOWN member and caregiver for his wife Dianna, who passed away in 2020. Felix established this Project in collaboration with PALTOWN to support stage iv CRC patients seeking second opinions.
“Most stage iv crc patients are considered terminal by their care teams, and the standard of care is “chemo for life.” Some stage iv patients can benefit from more aggressive treatment, however; these patients can survive well past 5 years, and can even achieve a durable “no evidence of disease” response. In most cases, patients need to seek out a second opinion to understand and access these more aggressive treatment options.”
