A member asked:

I'm just wondering, if you had your last shot at doing something to cure cancer in you, what would you try?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Issue is:would I try: If a disease is advancing despite all standard therapy, two important decisons & choices need to me made: 1)am i still going towards "cure" (however we wish to define that) or for "palliation" (to improve quality of remaining life, and perhaps extending life span a bit) 2) relative potential benefits vs. Harms. Each instance & each person is unique-so maybe nothing, maybe something experimental.
