Re: using common soil bacteria to kill solid cancers
WOW. Lani, you are truly an angel to this board. Having rec'd the horrifying news six years ago, at the peak of my life "age 44", that um, sorry - we mis dx you for YEARS due to your dense tissue and girlfriend you have stage 3c bc.
Then, I went to mets after a year of brutalizing tx. While I'm her2+++, I REALLY need the tdm-1 and pertuzamub (however it's spelled) as next tx's.
So, to see that I may get to do the pertuzamub soon, and to hear about studies like this, give stage IV cancer patients some hope.
Really, really appreciate all that you do here.
Hugs,
Kim
