    Dr. Sena provided the information I was seeking from this consultation in a comprehensible manner. She identified two relevant clinical trials for which I might be eligible.I am especially appreciative of her follow-up in connecting me with those responsible for the clinical trial at the NIH as well as connecting with a patient who had been through a different trial.Additionally, she promptly responded to a consultation I made through the portal.
