Oncofocus

Hi

I recently had breast cancer but had it removed with a mastectomy, I also had my lymph nodes removed. I have been advised by my breast surgeon that I need chemotherapy, radiotherapy and HRT. I have however been offered a trail where they look at my breast tissue and test it to see if chemotherapy would be beneficial,, I am hoping to get on the trial but it all depends if I meet the criteria, which I find out on 17th June.  However in the meantime I have been looking at alternatives to chemotherapy and found a company called Oncofocus who seem to do the same thing as the trail, but the medication they give you just attack’s any cancerous cells and nothing else. The cost is £2,000 I just wondered if anyone had any experience of them?

Thanks

Zoe

  • Hi Zoe, 

    Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any recent discussions about this on the forum but it's always best to speak to your medical team if you're thinking about going down an alternative route so do be sure to discuss this when you see them next.

    Fingers crossed you get on the trial Zoe.

    All the best,
