Can someone tell me about Judy Perkins?

[Paigeparker]

She had (has?) stage 4 ER+ breast cancer and was successful treated (cured?) with a form of immunotherapy in 2016. She is still completely cancer free 4 years later. There's many many articles and YouTube videos on her.

Thanks for the reference, Paigeparker! This is indeed an interesting article.

Thanks! There's a lot of articles and videos on her. It's surely an interesting case. Hopefully similar treatments become available to everyone soon. She was in the trial with 2 other women who it sadly did not work for. There's still a lot more research and trials to be done. But we must remain hopeful.

I've read that one! That's a great website. Lots of stories from people with different types of cancer.
