My sister has been advised that chemotherapy is the best treatment for her endometriosis. She lives in London, she's 36 and so upset by this. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal?

In line with this, sub-micromolar concentrations of loratadine, astemizole and ebastine sensitized NSCLC cells to chemotherapy and reverted multidrug resistance in NSCLC, breast and prostate cancer cells.

Is chemo an effective treatment for PCa?

My online research indicates chemotherapy is not an effective treatment for all cancers. I’m wondering if anyone can direct me to information supporting chemotherapy as a life extending treatment for Prostate Cancer. Thank you in advance.My online research indicates chemotherapy is not an effective treatment for all cancers.
