New Doctors, New stuff going on!

Sorry, I know i have been such a slacker with this whole blog thing but I promise I'll try and be better! So I have new doctors in Maryland and I love them! I'm in a new protocol now that involves removing tumors and extracting certain cells(tumor infiltrating cells), and growing them to billions in the lab. I then go back to MD for 3 weeks and have 7 days of Chemotherapy to get rid of my immune system and then they put the cells back in me. These cells are suppose to be killing the tumors so hopefully after they put billions back in me that's exactly what they do. After they inject cells back in me I do another 5 days of IL-2. Then its a week or two of recovery. I just have to stay in there until my immunity comes back. So their saying if all goes well I have about a 50/50% chance of this working. I already went back and had the surgery to remove tumors, so my cells are in a lab growing now. The first hurdle I need to get past is the cells growing in the lab, there's about a 20-30% chance they wont even grow. Second hurdle, if they do grow, i go back and rescan and I cant have anything in the brain. 3rd hurdle, I need to be one of those 50% in the end. ummm I should know in a couple of weeks if the cells are growing, so I'll keep u posted. I'm excited about these new numbers and I am very hopeful. So keep your fingers crossed! I hope you all had a fun filled holiday, mine was pretty crazy, but fun! Luv you all
