Just an update on my wife's progress. We had our 4th treatment on October 26th. During the course of the treatment we had occasion to review the results of a blood test taken at our last visit. To our great surprise and happiness Lisa after her second treatment was developing antibodies as a result of the treatment. In talking to Dr. Disis on the matter this is the desired result and we hope to increase the immune response with the additional treatments.
In sum this should mean if the hypothesis is correct that Lisa is developing immunity to the Her2/neu positive cancer that we have been battling for 13 years.
We are exstatic! This sort of treatment offers hope to all women battling this awful disease. Fight on ladies the more time you have the more chance that the wonderful people like those at the University of Washington can develop a cure.
