Re: Port or No Port?
Getting Perjeta as first line therapy seems to have been a stroke of luck in all of this: Three month earlier and it most likely would not have happened as per german law.
Still, the future is open for all of us, even if I came out of therapy with more favorable statistics. But then I had cancer with odds of 0.05 % (Paget's) to make clear from the start that there are statistics and then there is the individual and we can only hope to come out on the right side once we entered this lottery.
Good luck to all of us.
