https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/Treatments-and-side-effects/Side-Effect-Free-SEF-Chemo/m-p/14445#M1787 Has anyone heard of Side Effect-Free SEF Chemotherapy. A friend directed me to the Berkley International Institute website and it says that even Stage IV patients are getting complete remission with this treatment. I wonder if there is any truth in this?

I'm very sceptical now. I think immune therapy is the way of the future. I can't see any chemo not being toxic.

I have had a few people tell me that they don't think this treatment really exists at Berkley. My Dad has just been accepted into a trail for a new immunotherapy drug called Nivolumab (common name Opdivo). They have high expectations for it and it is supposed to have minimal side-effects compared to chemo. We are hoping for the best! Kind regards Raelene Thu, 23 Jul 2015 02:26:28 GMT https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/Treatments-and-side-effects/Side-Effect-Free-SEF-Chemo/m-p/14447#M1789 RaeleneH 2015-07-23T02:26:28Z https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/Treatments-and-side-effects/Side-Effect-Free-SEF-Chemo/m-p/14448#M1790 That is great news. I saw a documentary on immune therapy and it does really look very promising.
