Diagnosed with cancer in the Brachial Plexus - secondary Breast cancer

PHESGO IMMUNOTHERAPY: Has anyone been taking PHESGO FOR over a year now? This is an immunotherapy drug used initially alongside Taxol chemotherapy, but now prescribed 3-weekly as an injection in my thigh. I am hoping there might be someone like me (secondary breast cancer) who may be able to share their own experiences and any side effects?

Is there anyone else on this forum who has cancer that has spread from breast to the Brachial Plexus?

Dear Positive41

Sorry you have secondary breast cancer…I hate to ask this question, but what is the brachial plexus? having three weekly injections must be unpleasant but better than the alternative.

Taxol is from a drug refined from yew trees I think, I specialise in odd facts plus my Dad worked for the Forestry Commission. I don’t have secondary breast cancer but I do feel for you.
