Menopause can bring that on… hair thins for most women from 40s onwards. I have thinning in front and only mid 40s. You can get hair toppers too. Lend in with your natural hair … which hilariously have infiltrated my FB feed. What can I say? Getting old sucks and getting old with cancer is just taking the proverbial… Roll on AVA6K

I can tell you the thought of it isn’t pleasant. I start a Taxane chemo starting in new year. You can cold cap but likely will loose it anyway. I will try because with Taxane chemo there is a higher risk of permanent alopecia… thinning of hair and potential bald patches. Cold capping can reduce that risk a bit but many can’t tolerate the cap.

Would I refuse chemo? I would if the benefit wasn’t great enough… the biggest issue I have is that you could go through all this pain and long term damage and a rogue dormant cell can’t get killed by chemo because it is dormant. 14% chance of that happening to me. 9% chance of chemo benefitting me. I can assure you that no part of cancer is easy and psychologically it is merciless. NHS psychological services are abysmal. It is the ultimate cluster **** that nightmares are made of. If there could be a kinder treatment … with more cycles to capture these dormant cells when they reactivate… I could imagine it could be a routine maintenance chemo without the vile and debilitating side effects - eg peripheral neuropathy.
The thing that you don’t realise when you get cancer is that you never know if it going to return or not… they talk about ‘cures’ but with my kind of breast cancer, I will never know - it could come back in 3 or 30 years. It is hanging over you.

Having said that the role disappeared by summer on recollection… so there would have been time to review it and cleanse it as it was being collected.

So I have some insight here … I’m a data analyst with 20+ years of experience in data warehousing and data integrity. I’ve not worked in the pharmaceutical industry though. There was a contract role at Avacta that was advertised for some months. It was a part time role. From having looked at the job spec it was about managing the flow of data coming in from the hospitals and ensuring the data was cleansed and verified. I would imagine that there are errors in information being input and these would need to be revalidated through other sources or removed. It would only be then that the data could be analysed (it used to be SAS that used in pharma - probably still is). I imagine there is a very high number of metrics being collected and all will need reviewing and ensuring are in the same format form all the different sources. Potentially additional data will need to be sourced that might have not been collected. I say that from a point of view of things that go wrong in data feeds … specifications can be misinterpreted or failures on formats can cause data to lost or corrupted.

The role that was advertised and the role spec gave me the impression that the process wasn’t fixed and it need managing to a significant degree by a human.

There is something very crass and vulturistic about prying information that ultimately benefits you financially and I’m really pleased that most recognise that line in this dog eat dog world (even if this stuff is made up). I do hope they are successfully being treated whatever trial they are on. We need new cancer treatments, kinder cancer treatments. A mother on my support group posted a photo of her breast feeding her baby a day after her single mastectomy. I was moved to tears. 1 in 2 are affected by cancer. Young and old.

If ava6k does well I look very much forward to making some big donations to cancer research, treatments, and support groups.

Look regardless if I believe Rippers or not … it was a really odd story to make up and he didn’t actually have anything that would confirm anythjng… BUT I hope this really is what the story IS and that it gives people more time with their loved ones. EVEN this drug ONLY stops metastasis in it it’s tracks… I’m currently going through genomic testing of my tumours and genetic oncology as chemo might still be on the cards. If I’m in a grey area do I wait???? I can’t obviously wait if I’m high risk of recurrence but know FAR to much about the Red Devil particularly the impact on heart I’m going to be considering that aspect.

I’m going to say Pah has the most sensible grade 1 version… anytime we witness someone trying to explain it any other way we should all shout :

PAH!

This is a futile argument... supply and demand economics.

More Buyers and less sellers drives price up. Less Buyers and more sellers drives price down.

I think your manner of describing this basic process is potentially obtuse, imho. I think everyone agrees with the statement above, but equally you could argue sellers drive price up (because they are unwilling to sell) and buyers drive the prices down because they are unwilling to buy. But until they buy they are not buyers and until they sell, they are not sellers. The market attracts both potential buyers and potential sellers, and the balance of those two sets is what moves the price.

Simples. Until you get a 3rd Party Market Makers who basically are only interested in their margin and deal with people on the side that don't report what is going on until later... and they don't have to balance their books for a period of time (I once read they have a month or so to do so).

On HL the allocated shares have been added to the normal shareholding. There is a reject line listed of what you didn’t get. On 8 accounts we have with HL (4 different people) we all requested approx twice the amount of original allocation and they all see to have scaled back to approx 1.1% of qualifying shareholdings (total including the 0.8% allocation). If you compare % allocated of shares requested you can’t compare the allocation logic as it would depend on how greedy or lucky you thought you would be

Am I wasting my breath here? I was just curious if other platforms had different logic.

If you want to compare - take the TOTAL number you were given and divide by your shareholding at the cut off date. Only way to compare people as everyone would have asked for different amounts in excess of allocation. I suspect that most platforms would have allocated it that way... I reckon everyone got 1.1% in total if they asked for that much above the allocation.

HL / I got about 1.1% or just over on my holding as of whatever date it was…. Including the original allocation so additional was circa 0.3%. So looks like they scaled it back according to how many you had in the first place which seems pretty fair.

I’m pretty sure when I had something similar on another share they took it and then returned what extra allocation they scaled back to.

I suspect that they will more likely will work out a % extra based on original allocation… anyone actually had experience of similar offers ? I’m pretty sure I got extra but not all I requested on another share with HL.

I was at Taco Bell End and heard that Matt Handjob is going to start working there to get in touch with his peoples.

there are a lot of buys that when I did a dummy sell look like the sell price... yet the SP was moved up... It does make me wonder if MMs are collecting for someone...

I know ... what do I know?

Come on Avacta you have some fecking cancer to cure!!!

And thank you old trader and Mr A. When hit by this you realise what is actually important in life. I’m fortunate in many respects. I also have had excellent care via NHS. I’m a huge fan of the NHS though it is struggling still and will be for the foreseeable.

Thanks wyn… we don’t know each other though we do surmise at each other’s motives… but at the end of the day we are all human and susceptible to this dreadful disease. Investment aside, the science is so very hopeful. Wishing everyone good health.

So many pointers to positive news. I started here with LFT but remained committed (heavily) due to the fascinating science and impact to cancer sufferers. My good friend has been battling cancer for 3 years and unfortunately just has had it spread.

I am now having surgery on Monday for breast cancer - only diagnosed a few weeks ago. They think it has been caught early - but there are two smallish tumours and areas of concern. I have a history of breast cancer in my family so knew this would happen but thought it would be in my 60s or 70s not my 40s with young children.

I can’t tell you what a low side effect chemo will mean to so many. The thought of chemo terrifies me and so many others. My good friend and GP says that for most cancer is a case of when and not if.

There are other targeted therapies in trials so many avenues of hope but I do wish AVA6k to be successful and to become available as soon as possible. If this works and can help my friend then I’m paying off her mortgage and taking our families on holiday and making a big donation to cancer research.

Health is wealth and October is breast cancer awareness month - get checking your breast ladies (and gentlemen) too!

I haven't had anything from HL
