Morning Warriors,

Glad to hear your news Cat. I have a PET on Monday as they want to check a lymph node that showed up on a CT scan a couple of weeks ago. Praying it is nothing and all is well.

Can you share more on the T-cell treatment? Also what is the VICE program? Any new treatments are good to know about.

Have a great weekend and if you're dealing with snow stay warm and if you have sunshine, like we do here in the NW enjoy. But it is very chilly right now in the morning.

Good morning everyone!

Spirit - hope you get good news from the Pet scan! VICE is not a study, it is a documentary series/ investigative reporting. The last episode was about cancer and 3 clinical trials (not for breast cancer- I think it was neuroglioblastoma, multiple myeloma and leukemia) in which they used genetically modified viruses to attack cancer cells and they had very good results.

I don't know about the T cell treatment but I'll try to find out. If there is a clinical trial it should be posted on clinical trials.gov.

lbgal: Thanks for clarifying that VICE is a documentary and not a study or treatment. And when you said good results, they showed one instance of 100%: 4 out of 4 went into full remission.

Here is a link to a blurb/video:

I have been lurking on this board for some time but only posting on Brain Mets as that was my first met diagnosis last July, 18 months after original diagnosis. One lesion than appeared in pelvis at Xmas and last week lymph node in chest lit up on a pet scan, confirmed by biopsy. Brain MRI tomorrow... Wish me luck! Oncologist switched meds from Xeloda to Gemzar/Cisplatin.

I'm posting because Lucy asked about new treatments. My oncologist - who's at the innovative end of the spectrum - has also put me on Keytruda, the melanoma drug. He is v excited about it. Not covered by insurance here alas.

Are you BRCA positive or negative? I heard that some of the newer drugs like Keytruda are in clinical trials for TNBC with and without BRCA mutations. Just curious :)
