Les,Yes I have heard of this trial. They cloned the man's Tcells and put them back into his body, it did put him into remission. They tried this on 9 patients total and he was the only one to respond. The article was very interesting and I have passed this along to my son-in-law. Thanks so much. Please let me know the outcome of your melanoma. It sounds like it it is very small. Be sure they do a whole body check for other areas.
