The need for control is natural human response when faced with life-threatening things like cancer. i don't blame sherry for believing that participating in the study will give her a sense of control in her life. The need for control should not be the only reason to get tested, but if it gets a person to the testing center then it's a good enough reason. Testing for what you have helps you to understand what you have so you can start a treatment and be able to keep track of the disease. Cancer is difficult to control, and testing is a great way to have some knowledge of what is happening and how the cancer is reacting to the treatments. Though tests cant find or prove every problem or disorder, it is a great place to start.
