Re: Clinical Trial LCC0418 Phase II

I am not on this therapy but I'm actually a PhD in Immunology and stage IV breast cancer warrior myself- and can say that it is great that you are enrolling in this therapy. I've studied dendritic cells in my research and I know for a fact that this therapy has a lot of potential. It would be a great break through if it can help in breast cancer, I will pray that those little dendritic cells get fully primed against those nasty cancer antigens and then they go on to kill the cells in your body.

As a former researcher myself (I left science to spend time home with my family), it brings me such joy to know that there are people like you out there to help test and prove that immunotherapy is a valuable tool in the fight against cancer.
Huggs!
