Just Diagnosed with Cancer? Chat with Experts

Has anyone heard of research related to DCA??

By Jolene Boyd Friday, September 12, 2008

Hi there!  Been a while since I posted--just up to "normal" life...whatever that is!  Recently passed my one year anniversary of diagnosis.  I had a physical and my first mammogram since surgery--everything came back "clean"...but now I find myself thinking "so what did they miss??"  I guess that's my new reality!

 

Anyway, I really wanted to post today to ask the question above (which I also posted in the "Questions" section of this site):  Has anyone out there heard anything about research on a possible new drug for cancer treatment called dichloroacetate (DCA)?  A friend sent me a link to this article (http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn10971) and from there I went to this web site (http://www.depmed.ualberta.ca/dca/).  I see nothing new posted there since 2007 which makes me a bit skeptical, so I thought I would throw it out to our experts and community members.  Please provide whatever information you might have about this drug...  Thanks in advance!

Hi Jolene,

 

Great to hear from you, but even better to know that you've just been too busy with "normal" life to post on the site -- good for you! Congratulations on your anniversary and getting a "clean" bill of health. Here's a neat related SharePost:

The question you've asked has been answered in the Q&A section by our infamous PJ Hamel, and here's the link: http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/question/5421/40675. I thought I'd provide it here for others reading this SharePost.

 

All the best,

Maria
