    The future of Cancer treatment

    This is promising. I do believe that immunotherapy is the future of Cancer treatment.  Too bad this was only tested on 10 mice.

    future of cancer treatment

     You are exactly right.....immunotherapy is the future.  Fortunately, it's here now and available for use for several types of cancer.  I started on Keytruda the week after it was approved for colon cancer.  I feel decent most days, and while my cancer is continuing to spread, it seems to be doing so very slowly.  Truthfully, I didn't expect to live this long, but I'm so glad I did.  I took a page out of your book, Tru, and decided to keep fighting just as long as I can.  God Bless.

    Keytruda

    Wishing you well Jeff's Mom with keytruda.  How long have you been on this therapy?  I see it advertised on TV for a type of lung cancer, but didn't realize it was being used for colon cancer.  There is just so much to learn about our cancer, treatment options, etc and when you're not feeling so well from treatment, it makes it all the harder.
