Hello. Is this true? - http://www.change.org/petitions/petition-for-briggs-for-cancer-immunotherapy-for-all
It seems to make sense. Lots of doctors & professors on board. Bradley Cooper even!
How would I find out where to get it for my brother? He's stage IV. I can't talk with his oncologist. Doesn't listen.
Thanks,
MJ

Hi Anon.

 

Welcome to EmpowHER.  According to the American Cancer Society. Immunotherapy is treatment that uses certain parts of a person’s immune system to fight diseases such as cancer. By, stimulating your own immune system to work harder or smarter to attack cancer cells. Giving you immune system components, such as man-made immune system proteins.  You might want to discuss this with another Oncologist and see if this therapy would be right for your brother. Hope this helpful?

 

Best,

 

Daisy
