Greece/RGCC test
Hello all,
Has anyone used the Greece/RGCC test to direct their treatment?
It seems to be very informative on the sensitivities of circulating tumor cells or stem cells to chemo and natural substances. What I can't figure is whether this also reflects the sensitivity of the tumors themselves.
We are coming to a crossroads and will need to make a decision soon. The test indicated sensitivity to our current chemo, but out oncologist believes we need to move to a clinical, a drug that also came up high on the test. There are also a few other good isotope hits on the test that may be worth exploring.
Just curious if any had any experience using this test to direct their treatment.
Thanks!
Warm wishes, Ace

RGCC
I had RGCC testing in October for CTC. Came back with a count of 3. I live in California and the 2 physicians that do RGCC testing and treament . Did chemo/sens testing for both natural and
traditional chemicals that I am sensitive to. Looking at IST treatment which is going to cost $15-16 thousand dollars. There is follow-up care at 3 and 12 week intervals. This physician is about 5 hours away driving. I am looking into some overseas practitioners that have been doing this a long time and with pricing numbers. After reading about cancer for a few years I don't feel I have to do anything tomorrow that is drastic. Learning that our cancers have been with us for at least 5-10 yrs plus before we find them. It is still quite scary no matter what.

Greece / RGCC Chemosensitivity Tests
I have known several persons who benefitted from RGCC Onconomics and Onconomics Plus chemosensitivity testing. An abstract of one report of my findings is available at: (https://www.academia.edu/35092773/Help_and_Hope_for_the_Unknowingly_Needy_and_Worried_Well_Medical_Advocacy_in_an_Era_of_Personalized_Medicine).
