Dear All,
Just to share with you about my treatment.
I am stage 3 triple positive breast cancer. When diagnosed, I had two tumors, 10cm in my right breast and 2.3cm under my armpit, eg, one lymph node spread. I have gone through EC 4times and Taxol + Trastuzumab+ pertuzumab 4 times. After 8 chemotherapy, the tumor under my armpit is gone and the one in the breast is 3-4cm now. I wish to continue my treatment with immunotherapy with dendritic cells so that there is a hope to conserve my breast.
since this immunotherapy with dendritic cells is provided by a company in Spain/Germany and I need to pay for this by myself, I am not sure it is effective. I wonder anyone have known people with this treatment?
many thanks!
Hi . I just dropped by and noticed you've not had a reply yet. It might be that no-one here has an answer for you I can't help as I have a different cancer but replying will "Bump" your post up to the top of the chats.
It might be a good idea to Ask a Nurse on our Ask an Expert forum (just click on the link) You'll have to allow a couple of days for an answer though as they're extremely busy and it's Easter.
When you have a minute, it would be great if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.
