Just make sure to do your research, and stay on top of every kind of treatment available, in case you have a recurrence after you finish chemo. I hope that you won't have one 🤞🏻
I wonder are there any stories about ACC ?🙏

Hi Marit, do you mean adenoid cystic carcinoma? If so, unfortunately we don't yet. Working on building up resources so we can tackle each and every cancer/subtype out there. Thank you for your patience. -Stephanie

@@ThePatientStory yes ,my Sister died of this last year ,horrible horrible type 😔 so we need more focus on it . Ty Stephanie for answering me 🌹
Poor Amy, she was sent to death in that April, because Keytruda didn't work, cancer everywhere, then, 8 days later, she founds that her cancer may be defeaed with some drug. And it worked, omg, this si a miracle. All tumors dissapear and she being more like herself before all that happened. This is miracle, I aalmost lived through her story, all this seems surreal
