Truth or Fiction?
Brain Tumor Vaccines, DCVax 2 Comments »I would call this a cautiously optimistic update on the vaccine. To many this is a lot more exciting news but I received a call from my Neuro-Oncologist today and with a lot of confidence she told me that the saga involving my vaccine, DCVax-Brain, is finally over. The release of the vaccine was confirmed, it will be here on Tuesday and treatment will start on Thursday of next week. They had so much tissue that they were able to manufacture enough vaccine for 3 years. This is a significant quantity – many people unfortunately don’t have enough viable tumor and are left with smaller quantities. So, I am blessed by the news here and I could use some good news! I will also be starting Thalidomide next week as well.
If I sound a bit subdued about it – I am and for good reason. I’m excited about this but will hold off on really being happy about it until it’s truly at the infusion center here in Sac. As I mentioned before, this has been surrendered on my part. I’m starting Thalidomide which is a treatment whether I use the vaccine or not. Whatever the grand plan is – that is the map I’m traveling on. If it includes the vaccine, then it will show up when it’s supposed to. If not, there will be other things, or not, on the road. Either way, it’s all going to happen the way it should.
Praying for God’s will is the simplest concept on paper but the most difficult to understand and truly internalize in my humble opinion.
