Jed, I'm so sorry... Looking for the next strategy and having a secret hope that those TILs are and will be doing some good, even if now it is not apparent.

We're back from follow-up #12. All good!
They've decided to schedule the next one for SIX MONTHS out. This is a first for me. We'll see if Dr. Rosenberg lets the order stand (he vetoed it last time it was suggested).

My clinic visit was one of the shortest ever, which is OK by me ;)

I'm so happy for you, Celine!! What a walking miracle you are. I have bilateral lung mets and just failed Folfiri. At this point I'm going to start looking at the trials. Your blog is so incredible helpful to me. Thank you for taking the time to keep us all up to date.

Thank you for your kind words, DebZ!

I'm sorry that FOLFIRI didn't work. The world of clinical trials is much, much bigger now than it was just two years ago. I hope that you find many options. If you're MSS, here is a link to the trial finder that two of our own Colon Club members developed.

Celine: EDITED to fix trial finder link.

Celine, I already told you but... SO HAPPPYYYYYYYY!!

That is an old link to the clinical trials finder. Now, Fight Colorectal Cancer did pick up Tom's project and we have a shinny, wonderful web-based finder: Late Stage MSS-CRC Curated trial finder. Here: http://trialfinder.fightcrc.org/
