I've tried to compile a list of tests and treatments that you might face as a cancer patient. Wherever possible I've included pictures as I experienced them. Sure, there will be instances where the equipment looks different at your cancer center but you should gain a general idea of what to expect from what you'll see here.

Access to unapproved drugs can occur through many legal mechanisms, including enrolling in clinical trials, a special exception or compassionate exemption, an emergency Investigational New Drug (IND), and a Treatment IND.

In the United States, until a drug has been approved by the FDA, it can generally be obtained only through several mechanisms: enrollment in a clinical trial studying the drug, an expanded access program or special exemption/compassionate use programs.
