Clinical Trial Exceed ET
I have approached applying to participate in this clinical Trial. It is to determine the efficacy of using Ropeginterferon alfa-2b-njft for the treatment of Essential Thrombocythemia.

Where's the fire in delaying/pausing chemo?
3 weeks ago I started chemo with the Cabazitaxel/Carboplatin combination (I'd rather not name the hospital for now) I had a bad reaction to the first infusion (it turned out that I had an undetected infection, so my immunity was rock-bottom) As a result of that experience (10 days in hospital, wiped

Pre-CRPC Supplements/Drugs - Potential Risks vs Rewards?
With some substances there could be a "tipping" point depending on the substance, the dosage and the patient's stage of cancer where the substance may have a higher chance of having a negative effect instead of positive. It usually relates to ROS levels. Adequate levels of ROS are important for cancer

Kisqali added to Letrazole
So I was diagnosed with stage 2b lobular BC on 3/2023. Had a double mastectomy on 5/2023 and radiation. Onco and mammaprint said “no chemo benefit”. 26 lymph nodes taken out and 2 positive.
