Awful!
I have hormone positive breast cancer.

I’m sorry. I hope treatment is going well for you! There’s so much hope out there with treatment advances over the past few years and immunotherapy.

I wish! No new advances for hormone positive cancer. Immunotherapy isn’t for mine. Just the same old toxic chemo. Nearly killed me. I had to stop. I was having heart and lung trouble. Maybe I’ll try worming tablets. 🤪

😞 Have you looked into clinical trials or a 2nd opinion? My friend had TNBC and was able to get on an unapproved immunotherapy drug that ended up working! Please don’t give up hope. I was diagnosed in 2016 and only had chemo of transplant avail. Tons of new drugs have come out since then!

I think I’ll get a second opinion then. My oncologist said I couldn’t have them, because I didn’t have the cancer that responds to it.

I think a second opinion is always wise…especially if you have run out of options. You can also check https://clinicaltrials.gov to see if you might qualify for trials. Immunotherapy isn’t for everyone. Mine doesn’t respond to it, so I get it. But there are new trials all the time!

Thanks! I’ll keep an eye on that.
