Immunotherapy halted half way through

Hi Tim,

Sorry to hear you're in the same position. What have your team offered to do for you if you don't mind me asking?

I hope there is some other treatment for you.

Best wishes

Hi, Yes, I'm on another targeted therapy treatment now.

So sorry to hear that Little-fi. I hope the radiotherapy works and you get to resume treatment.

You have been through so much and seem to deal with it with such grace you are an inspiration.

Take care

Hi little-fi, where am I at now in treatment? I’m having surgery on Thursday to procure my largest accessible lymph node from my groin for a Thetis clinical trial. They will take blood samples and the tumour to assess the tumour dna and look at how my own Tcells work against it. They will then grow in lab the most effective tcells to fight my own cancer, which takes 12 weeks. While they are getting ready I can after I’ve recovered from surgery start targeted therapy drugs, my team have got compassionate grounds approval from a pharmaceutical company, so that should start in November. Then in January when the personalised Tcells are ready we assess how things are going and see if we leave them in storage a bit longer or put them to use. So a fluid plan at the moment.

That sounds hopeful. So good they can target your own T cells 

This sounds good!

What a brave lady you are KT, outsiders don't know the half of what we go through, and come to think of it, neither do I. I wish you the very best wishes for your journey KT. 

Stay safe and take care KT

Hello little-fi, I've just seen your post. Hang on in there and re-group yourself. It seems options are possible so the door is far from closed and, as we all know, new things come on-stream all the time. I certainly had a big weight loss issue after my last hospitalisation. My Greek doctor brought me in Total Greek yoghourt with Greek honey and chopped walnuts. It was easy to swallow and, as you might imagine, very good for helping to put on weight. And the bonus is that, as far as a medicine goes, it's very, very nice!  Keep trying to keep positive little-fi  Rainie x

That’s good news Tim- all the best with that. Xx

Wow! That sounds amazing. Incredible what goes on with the research! Good luck KT xx
