Re: TIL Immunotherapy at NCI

"Fellows" just means they are doctors who are at NIH on a temporary basis. They applied for a fellowship on the Surgical Branch. For example, my fellow has a 3-year commitment, after which he will return to his "home" hospital to complete his residency. The fellows rotate to thei...

Re: TIL Immunotherapy at NCI

I have Apts at NIH OCT 4th, 5th and 6th for pulmonary test, meet the thoracic surgeon and harvesting white blood cells. Excited and scared all at the same time. Excellent! I know just how you feel :) Let me know if you have questions. Do you know which surgeon you'll be meeting? Very happy for you!...

Re: TIL Immunotherapy at NCI

wooHOO! That is awesome. I am SO GLAD that they told you to let people know to not make this option a last resort. I could not agree more.

I'm sorry. This is a recurring theme, unfortunately. Seems like nobody gets in on the first try.

Re: Bad CT Scan

Chiming in late, but just want to add my voice to the others--you DO have options, as others have pointed out. There are more clinical trials for mCRC now than ever before, if you want to go that route. Check out DK37's scientific posts thread. The trial I did (which has rendered me NED) is in my si...
