Hello. I had a meeting with my consultant last week and they have asked whether I’d be interested in taking part in the ATNEC trial. They gave me lots of information and I know it’s a trial where they won’t do a full lymph node clearance as long as certain conditions are met. Just wondering whether anyone else has been asked to take part or is taking part in this trial?
Hi, I’m not sure I’m eligible yet but this has been mentioned to me, at least i think it was this trial. I’ve not been given any information on it but will be talking to someone on the trials team next week.
At this point in time I understand I’m high risk of recurrence so my instinct is to say no. Have you any thoughts on it?
I am also thinking of declining the trial. I just feel like there’s too much uncertainty around risks of recurrence and there is too high a risk that something will be left behind in lymph nodes.
