@prayingforccr-
Thank you! You are right-I have so many questions! I can't direct message you as it says I have not posted enough. I wonder if you can direct message me and I would then be able to respond? The trial I am enrolled in is at Allegheny which is also in Pittsburgh. I will have the IL-2 as well and Keytruda infusions following the Til infusion.

I had the Apheresis procedure last week. Is that different than Leukapherisis? The NCI trial you are in sounds almost exactly like the one I am in. Do you know if there are differences?
