CANCER AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM:

Post by D.ap »

Some light reading for those who dare-- :)

I've been thinking of autoimmune reactions on scans verses cancer progression..pseudo progression?
Can the scan be misinterupted as these new meds are certaininly not of our norm treatments.

Hugs to all

Not to cause worry but to open for discussion--

Check out the glossary--

Kinda quirky and cute :lol:

Antigen: A substance that is foreign to the body and is capable of eliciting an immune
response. Antigens are to immune cells what red cloths are to mad bulls.
