Any new treatments for BC
I am 3.5 years cancer free and hoping for another good report in December. As usual the closer the date for my appointment the more I start to stress about it. Is there anything new in low grade BC treatment other than TURP and BCG? I take a few supplements recommended to me and try and eat healthy but I’m always looking to improve my odds at beating the cancer.
