in Breast Cancer #1

Hello.   I'm a 3 x BC Survivor and it was just found in my liver.  I'm 5 years out from original diagnosis.

 

I'm seeing my Dr. today and wanted to know if anyone else had this?   I'm triple negative too so hormonal thearapy won't work.     I'm praying there's a plan.    like immunotherapy.

 

??

 

Thank you

    Glad to see you here.

    This is A very supportive site.  I am still waiting for immunotherapy to be approved for breast cancer.  Or even trials. Doctors working on this were expecting it in 2012,13,14,  but each year fda has wanted more studies.  So maybe thus will be the year!  I keep thinking if it is approved, the pharmaceutical companies work l lose too much money as the original plan was you so u Mr receive 4 immunizations.  They would take your blood, see what was missing, add it to the immunization.  It worked on the studies for other cancers in trials with no recurrences and free side effects.

    Let us know if your doctor's know'm of anything.

    Hugs and welcome,

    Camul

    There is a trial a friend of

    There is a trial a friend of mine is on. She is a BRCA carrier though with triple negative. She had mets to the liver, kidney, bones and lungs and right now only has the liver left which is shrinking, by the way. I can ask her for the name of the trial. It has been working for her. The only issue is this type of chemo doesn't travel to the brain. So now she was dx with brain mets, but full brain radiation was given to take care of that.

    My mom was diagnosed with

    My mom was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer about 4 years ago. She had lymph node and bone involvement and not it has recently went into her liver. She just had 2 Y90 radioembolization procedures done on the liver. The first procedure did appear to help shrink those tumors, and it is too soon to know the ressults of the second procedure. I am praying that it went well as well, she is very down right now and we could use some encouraging news.

    Anyway, I just wanted to share that her oncologist thought this was a good treatment option for her, and maybe it could be for you too.
