I just learned through serendipity about Sonodynamic and Photodynamic therapy (link below has basic info) for fighting cancer. I see it has been approved for some cancers and it appears that all the literature I've perused with my lay person's eye shows that it works very well. But, I'm wondering if anyone has heard of any research or treatment going on re: breast cancer, especially in the US. Also, has anyone tried this?

    I, too, am just a lay person, but it looks like it is for cancers very close to the skin.  I don't see breast cancer listed as one of the types of cancer that it can help.  But every new treatment is a postive!
