      My turn has finally arrived.  I'm participating in the "Phase I/II Study of the Treatment of Metastatic cancer that Expresses MAGE-A3 Using Lymphodepleting Conditioning Followed by Infusion of HLA-DP0401/0402 Restricted Anti-Mage-A3 TCR-gene Engineered Lymphocytes and Aldesleukin".  

      I'll let you know how it goes!  Chemo begins tomorrow. Cells introduced on April 4th with IL2.

          Great to hear from you Terrie.  Was wondering if you started chemo yet.  Glad you are happy with the care so far.  Good luck with the treatment.

                  Didn't mean to make my post anonymous.  Oh well!

                  Today starts my first day of chemo.  Chemo for a week and then I'll get my cells on April 4th. with a few bags of IL2.  I'll remain in the hospital while my immune system gets back into shape.  The hard days are ahead, but it will be so worth it if it works!
