I'll keep you posted

Hi Mat, how much did it cost?

All the best, hope it goes amazing.

17k Euros plus travel costs. My pension funds paid out on diagnosis (somehting that MacMillan can help with) so I had the cash. With a recurrence, I'm throwing the kitchen sink at it

Next MRI in beginning of \j\uly

This is incredible.  I read that the cost was closer to $250k-300k in us dollars.  Are you able to share any details on how you went about getting access to the treatment?

Hi - I believe that the numbers you are thnking of relate to the Optune device which is USD 20k per month. I just emailed them, then had a number of phone calls and a Zoom with the doctor. Happy to chat if you want.

Thank you Mat, the feedback is much appreciated.  I actually got DCVax confused with the GBM vaccine treatment Gliovac, that one I was quoted $250k US plus hospital costs.  It's a promising treatment but really challenging to pay for.

I will follow up with DC Vax via the link you sent.  Thanks again.

Happy to help.

Hi Mat, 

I really hope this treatment works well for you. I’ve just started investigating the treatments available for my mum, so it’s promising to see things such as the DCVax.

Did they require a sample of your tumour? I’ve read that it’s needed, but have also read that some type of synthetic thing can be used to develop the vaccine! 

All the best!!
