Enhertu (Do your research first ALWAYS)
I am HER2- and was given this "infusion" on 11/18 after being told I was out of any more options and had about 3 months left. It has been hell since then. I do not believe it was the medication as I did in the beginning. I believe it was the errors of the cancer center I have been going to. I am

Hello everyone .
Hi all , hope you all managed a reasonable Christmas despite various treatments etc ongoing … I’m interested to hear from anyone who had chemo / radiation treatment for lung cancer stage 3 and didn’t follow up with immunotherapy either because it wasn’t an option or because they chose not to or other

Realization
I have had HCC 6 months now. I have come to realize the key in treating this is not whether the meds work; but rather whether you respond to the medication. I have read of good and great effects from the medications, however the response rate of immunotherapy agents is a maximum of 31% and a minimum

KRAS G13D
Hi All, I'm a recently diagnosed Stage IV 4B NSCLC patient (24 years old) with the KRAS G13D genetic mutation identified in my genetic screening. I've been in 2 rounds of chemo with Cisplatin + Pexemetred with plans to add Keytruda to round 3 and 4. However, my cancer is not responding to my 2nd rounds

Life Is Good until it's not...and it's not any more.

No SOC treatment. Metastatic lymph nodes by PSMA-PET. Rising PSA. Bone/CT scans neg. Waiting to die.
The title may seem over-dramatic. It does, however, present the present state of my PCa. I have written more than once about being Lupron ADT sensitive but stopped after first shot due to severe intolerable increase in depression. I am not eligible (SOC) for other therapies because they all require

Monthly blood tests

Atari trial one year on
hello all. I’m reporting back about my 1 year on ATARI trial. I had my results back from my scan and it’s still showing no visible disease. I was apprehensive this time as chemo treatment only worked for a few months. This trial is not chemo based. This time last year I was pinning all my hopes on

A critical review of Provenge. Your inputs welcomed?
Any thoughts on this critical review. One thing that strikes me as odd, is how there is no information regarding efficacy since 2012. That's 10 years. If something works well, then why isn't there new data showing that? Some people say, it can't hurt, so just do it. That makes sense if it is true

One last battle
Yesterday I learned that my PSA went from 14 to 19 in 3 weeks and scans show my cancer is progressing in bones, liver and bladder. I was taken off the (3rd) trial and told that there’s nothing else for me in the MD Anderson Cancer Center GU oncology department. Sent home to do cabazitaxel/carboplatin
