Re: Need your input about treatment

Hi Joan
Sorry it's taken me a long time to respond. I agree with the view about your immune system doing it's job and keeping the cells in check.My onc believes that secondary bc cells are never dormant but can grow and be destroyed by the immune system before they get to do any harm especially when helped by vit h.
I guess a dilema is about whether this would be a good time to have a vaccine? What seems to hold true is triggering an immune response when you are NED or have only small amounts of bc is thought to give the immune system the best chance to overcome the disease.I know my onc who isn't particularly pro vaccines believes this is the point when they would be most efficient.
