Hi Rich
I suspect LIFT has the potential just not the backing to move it ahead fast enough! The other immunotherapy trials are also very encouraging and I wait with baited breath for the reports from Roger Williams!
As some people are 'cured' of bc is it reasonable to assume that the chemo worked so well that it killed all the cells or that enough were killed for their own immune ststem to mop up the rest? Or that they won the lottery and the chemo they were given was exactly the right 'match' to kill their cancer cells?
More questions than answers again!Meanwhile will go and take my olive oil
