Hi new here and not sure where to start really but wondered if anyone has any knowledge of Dendritic cell therapy? Apparently not available in the UK but it is abroad.
I have a recurrence of rectal cancer and have been offered radio therapy for now then chemo when it is needed. I had a tumour removed 2 years ago and an ileostomy reversal and thought all was well until now.
I’m waiting on a date for the radiotherapy to commence but in the meantime you obviously wonder what else can be done? Surgery is too intrusive and involves too much for me to comprehend including removal of the base of the spine. So I opted for palliative care in the hope that some new treatment may come up in the meantime?
So I’m wondering if any one has had this therapy or know of anyone that has had it? I appreciate it can be costly but how much and is it worth it?
Thanks
