Hi everyone. I havn’t posted for a while. No particular reason but seem to have been really busy. doing what I’m not sure. Anyway for those who dont know me. I was diagnosed with BC in Feb 2005 (cant believe its 3 years) had mastectomy followed by EC and radiotherapy. bone scan at diagnosis showed hot spot in one rib. ayear later bone scan shoed another rib involved and two areas on spine. had radiotherapy to spine. had been taking tamoxifen and changed to arimidex. Oct 2007 had ct scan after coughing up blood which showed spread to both lungs and liver. Currently having Paclitaxel two weeeks on and one week off. only 4 more to go. Ctscan half way through showed significant improvement.
Anyway to get to the point of my post. My brother has been doing some internet searching and has come up with gene therapy which you can have in China. has anyone heard of this and has anyone acually had it? It was originally designed for head and neck cancer but seems to be used for other cancers as well. It involves an infusion which enters the cancer cells and causes tem to ‘commit suicide’. I’m in a quandry what to do. as my chemo seems to be working I dont know whether to leave well alone or to go for it as the side effects seem minimal.
Any suggestions.
