@jp2000 Errivedge is for advanced Basel cell carcinoma not for ET. I ended up using an immunotherapy cream for 6 months instead of this very powerful (and expensive) drug and that eradicated my skin cancer! so glad I listened to my gut.
There is a lot of ‘woe is me’ on this site in regards to having ET because a few years ago some organization attached the word cancer to it. That word freaks everyone with ET out. When I was diagnosed in 1999 it was called a blood disorder. Attitude is everything when it comes to your health issues.
I’m still here and healthy after a diagnosis almost 30 years ago. We all have our individual health journey filled with highs and lows
Btw I have bloodwork every 3 months so I am monitored remotely throughout the year via Telemedicine.
I realized I am one of the more fortunate ones with this diagnosis- just want to shine a positive light for those with this ‘disorder’ 😊
