I don't know about that study, but my doctor told me that Erivedge has an over 90% success rate; it is, however, typically prescribed for people with cancers that are considered either treatment resistant or advanced, so a certain subgroup of BCC patients who may have fewer options in the first place. Thomas Seyfried is a cancer researcher you can find on YouTube; he has specific dietary strategies that will improve outcomes of conventional cancer treatment. But it strikes me as interesting that yours has returned to the same location; again, my doctor told me this was unlikely. My BCC is on the helix and adjacent areas of my ear.
I'm in my third week of taking Erivedge and just yesterday had a neck-to-knees muscle spasm during the stretching portion of a gym class yesterday; it brought me to tears! Am trying magnesium and making more gentle movements in class today.
