Got a question about TTFields because my oncologist at EVMS mentioned it as a possible add-on after my pleurectomy in August. I'm Stage II pleural, surgery went clean, but I want to understand what this thing actually does before I commit to wearing a vest or whatever it is.
From what I've read it's electric fields that mess with cancer cell division. But lung cancer and meso are different animals, right. So I'm wondering if anyone here has actually done TTFields for pleural meso or knows how it works differently than regular lung cancer treatment.
I did twenty years on the Oriskany as a hull tech so I'm not afraid of weird equipment, but I want to know if this is worth my time or if it's just something they push because it's newer. Any of you tried it. What was the actual deal.
Also if anyone knows whether the vest thing interferes with daily life that'd help. I'm retired so I've got the time, but I'd like to know what I'm signing up for.
