      So I just got a call from Dr. Lee here in Seattle who is the principal investigator for the TIL clinical trial at the SCCA. She informed me that not only were they able to successfully harvest my TIL cells (they have been incubating in a dark lab somewhere for the last 5 weeks in what I like to refer as "melanoma stew"), but that they show very good tumor infiltration. They are now frozen and available for when I need them.

      I had my second infusion of Keytruda last week and it’s too early to know if it’s working, but if it’s not, or stops working sometime in the future, I have a new Plan B waiting!

      – Paul.

          That is good news – helps to have another round in the chamber if needed… hopefully you will not need it.
