In other words, next to nothing.
CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor, T cell) therapy has been used very successfully against the blood cancers and they are now beginning to make headway in ‘solid’ cancers. Chemo is on the way out, though it wont happen anytime soon. Immunotherapy - using the body’s own immune system to attack cancer, is the new sheriff in town.
If I had cancer again, some fatigue and chills would be well worth it to see the disease go away for good.
Of course, all the nausea and vomiting from chemo were worth it the last time I had cancer.
Bravo!

Speed the research up and bring it to market without costing 14K a dose.
I have a set of aunts who married brothers, the cancer gene comes down the male line, all the female children, my cousins get genetic testing done at an early age as BC is a early issue for them. And they will pass that gene down their family gene line for a very long time. And they start Mammo’s young. No one can predict what age BC will occur no more than they can cervical cancer. I’ve seen women have both in their 30’s. DIL was just 45 when they found her stage 4 BC. Then again she is not a bright bulb, when 1 nipple looks different than the other get your hind end into your doc NOW. Walnut size tumor and you didn’t feel it?
I felt those tiny pea size non cancer fatty knots when they showed up. I was at the doc’s the next day.
Thanks for the ping. Great news.
It’s been 4.5 years since IBC killed my sister, after 3 years of fighting. It’s the absolute worst kind.
