Hi! Remember me? The white blood cell immunotherapy girl? Well, update: IT WORKED. Stage 4 to NO CANCER in 3 months! Zero evidence of disease at 3mo scan, and staying that way. Science is magic. (link to og post in comments)
So they removed your white blood cells, gave em the ol’ Rocky montage treatment, then put them back in the ring to defeat Apollo Cancer?
I don’t know if I interpreted your original post correctly, I just understand things better when it’s explained in Stallone films. Either way, congratulations!
Hey, this may get lost, but I just wanted to say thanks.
When saw your first post, I had been diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma for a month or so and was waiting for surgery. It wasn't a dire prognosis - just the opposite in fact, but I stood the chance of losing a kidney due to the positioning of one of the tumors. I was scared. I remember wishing you well under my breath and with an upvote, then going about my day.
My surgery got postponed, but eventually went well and I'm now waiting on that first follow up CT scan. I'm so glad to know that you're doing well. Your first post made me realize that there are many different treatments available and that new treatments were still being developed. It made me feel like there was hope, even if things didn't go as well as I wanted them to. Thank you, and congratulations!

I donated my white blood cells a couple of years ago to be used to develop this treatment. Your post literally gave me chills. I'm so happy for you.
