Thanks Amy & Stephanie for this video. It really gives one the reality and such good advice about finding the well equipped university cancer center for a second opinion

Poor Amy, she was sent to death in that April, because Keytruda didn't work, cancer everywhere, then, 8 days later, she founds that her cancer may be defeaed with some drug. And it worked, omg, this si a miracle. All tumors dissapear and she being more like herself before all that happened.
This is miracle, I aalmost lived through her story, all this seems surreal

[maritkristianehauganwick]

I wonder are there any stories about ACC ?🙏

I just had my second time in Chemo and was told that I’m 3 A/B.
