Betty,
This is a logic question. I will be asking why
not multiple treatment when I have my consultation
in about two weeks.
I would check out another clinic or hospital that
does the therapy and see if they are a little more
aggressive or accommodating. Try UC Davis in
Sacramento and Hunting ton Memorial Hospital in
Pasadena.
I am currently in a trial clinical study at USC in
LA. They remove white cells from my body,
supercharge them with CEA Dendric molecules and
build a vaccine. They then inoculate this vaccine
back into my system which should boost my immune
system to more effectively fight the cancer cells
in me with my own boosted immune system. I have
the second inoculation this Thursday and then a
CT Scan two weeks later to see if I am responding
to the treatment. Cross you fingers for me!
