Thank you for posting this link: https://www.bitchute.com/video/skDAaTtV2XmA/
It’s very powerful and useful information. I am forwarding it to my entire family.
He lived for nearly 7 years, enjoying a great QOL with his beautiful wife before it reoccurred. Sadly, it was inoperable at that point, and he passed away quickly after they started him on Avastin.
Shorts had better cover. There is nothing more powerful than a person’s will to live. Buying time until the next best treatment comes along is the name of the game. DCVax IS the game changer.
Shorts better cover.....
Does anyone know of a trading platform that allows Level 2 viewing for OTC? E-Trade has removed it & Schwab said they won't allow OTC trading. TIA
It’s been a while…..still holding and still positive. An amazing turn of events seems to be happening.
Wouldn’t it be great if including the lawsuit and having shareholder’s supporting them, NWBO performed a dual listing after the MIA approval and issued a special dividend (using shares) all while simultaneously other companies being manipulated were making similar moves? Wouldn’t that be a multi-screen show to watch?
Get out your popcorn!
My new salvo: “NWBO – ALL SHARES MATTER!”
Thank you, yes I am doing very well. Sadly, my friend passed away, however, he did have 7 years before the disease progressed. There were multiple tumors and they were inoperable at that time. They started him on Avistan & he was gone by the end of a month. I know his wife and family were so thankful to have those years with him as the quality of life he experienced during that time was better than most healthy people I know. He was able to travel and really enjoy himself and spend the time with his wife that he so desired. I wish there was the combo trial at the time he progressed as he was treated at UCLA. But that trial had not started until after he passed.
It has been a long time coming. We (my family & I) are very excited about the anticipated coming news. We have been invested in this company for nearly 9 years and feel it is about to pay off (in more ways than one). Good luck to everyone and thank you to ALL THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS BOARD OVER THE YEARS.
Sharpie510,
Thank you for your well wishes. Regarding the question: "Did your friend try and fail to get another DCVax-L made with his recurrent tumor?"
He did not opt for a 2nd surgery. The first surgery had already blinded him in one eye and his periphreal vision was lost. I suspect another surgery could have been devastating. Remember the rGBM is very, very agressive and patients do not have much time to even decide what to do. It also may be inoperable for some at that point. I do know he also declined the helmet.
Survivor,
As a "Survivor" who participated in a Clinical Trial. The goal of the patient (at least in my experience & humble opinion) is to LIVE a quality life as long as possible. When you are given a timeline literally, you have to ask yourself, what is most important to you? Investing in "the company" is not the first thing that pops up in my mind. My goal was to make memories with my family and try to live a fruitful life. Anything that distracted me from that was an obstacle. Anything that helped me achieve my goal was viewed as a resource or tool. I remember, praying ALOT and still do giving thanks on a regular basis. But investing in "the company", was not a priority.
It wasn't until years later after our kids were in HS, I dabbled in the stock market and started researching biotechs, along with other companies to invest in.
It's been quite a while since I have posted. My friend who received DCvax in the compassionate use arm lived nearly 7 years after diagnosis. Once the cancer came back they started him on Avastin and he was gone in less than a month. He was originally operated on by Dr. Liau in 2011. The life he had until progression was quite amazing, his qaulity of life was better than a lot of people I know who are healthy.
I too have been in a clinical trial. In 1995 I received my 1st autologous vaccines in a series at Stanford. They manufactured the vaccine for NHL. They needed as much tumor as possible (grapefruit size in my case) & it could take up to 6 months to locate the antigen and manufacture the vaccines. I was 32 at the time, I was given 1-10 years at time of diagnosis. Today, well you can do the math, I now have 7 grandchildren.
When entering into the clinical trial I had to sign a waiver to not discuss the trial or any of the details for as long as the trial ran. I honored that agreement. My knowledge was that of a layman but my experience is expert. The injections I received, 1cc in each arm, burned like heck, I was feverish (I was told that was a good sign) I had malaise and was achey for about 2-3 days. After that I was fine. They told me once my body produced the antibodies to fight off the cancer, I should never have a reoccurance again. I had injections tiered just like the DC vax program & boosters once a year for 3 years. However, in July 1995, I got the news that my body had an immuno response. I believe the vaccine I had was the VW and DC-Vax is the Ferrari. I am very long for good reason.
It's been over a few months since I updated the board on my friend who received DC-VaxL. He has had 2 MRI's since the last update in March and the last one was over a week ago. The Dr. Told my friend that the area they have been watching is stable. Remember, he was diagnosed with GBM in September of 2011. His quality of life is very good, he and his wife are still enjoying many adventures as they travel. I'm sorry for not sharing sooner, but our home was destroyed in a fire last year and we have been working hard trying to rebuild our lives.
Just an update on my friend, who had an MRI about a month ago. He had another one today and the Dr. Said it showed improvement. His Dr. felt so good about it he now will not need to have an MRI every 4 weeks but has pushed the next MRI out 8 weeks. We believe DCVax is working for him and are so happy for him and his lovely wife.
Just wanted to update the board on my friend who I mentioned in the post referred to above. If you go back and read post #48881 first, (if you haven't already) you will better understand this post.
My friend who had the DCVax-L went in for another MRI on Feb. 8 and the Dr. told him the tumor had stabilized and may even be a little smaller. There was also another small spot that I don't think I mentioned before as I was not aware of it at the time. But that spot is now almost invisible. His QOL is great from what I hear and see. Remember he was diagnosed in 2011. I think that is pretty amazing!
The solution may be as simple as administering more boosters, in other words, making a larger batch of vaccines. I was fortunate enough to get 1 booster a year for 3 years after my initial vaccines. It's a just a thought.
Hi Afford,
I'm sorry for any confusion, I received a monoclonal antibody vaccine (MAB). The vaccine is similar to the DCvax, in that it is manufactured from tumor tissue surgically removed from the patient (autologous). My tissue was removed at Kaiser and my parents drove the tissue over in a little igloo playmate on blue ice (the tissue had been prepared per the clinical trial protocol specifications by the surgeon). They handed it over to Stanford's nurse coordinator and they cryofroze it for the use of manufacturing my personalized vaccine. One of the differences is I had a blood related cancer non-hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) and they were only targeting 1 antigen. (As you know DCVax targets many antigens) They had to locate that antigen first, (they -the Dr.'s were not expecting to find it on my type of cancer cells) they found it their first try, I was told. They then fused a foreign protein from a keyhole limpid to the antigen, cloned it, (this process took up to 6 months) then reintroduced the cells in a vaccine form using some kind of adjuvant. My body saw the antigen as foreign after receiving the vaccine over a period of 6 months and began producing antibodies to fight it off. No more cancer.
Similarities of the 2 trials
1. Patients are Treatment Naive
2. Autologous vaccine - Personalized Vaccine
3. Patient is cancer free prior to 1st vaccinations
4. Administration of the vaccine is nearly identical, 2 shots, one in each arm and spaced in a tiered timeline.
5. Goal - to create an immune response
Also, as a patient in a clinical trial, at the time I was not allowed to discuss any of the specifics of my treatment with anyone other than my Drs and family, during the trial. This was a Phase II with no placebo arm. (That came later.) I believe anyone in the Phase 3 DCVax-L are probably required to not disclose similar information. Even with my friend, I have felt compelled at times to not share his info, because of a possible backlash. But since Dr. Bosch has shared, I suppose it won't matter now.
I hope I was able to clear up any confusion.
Long time voyeur, 2nd post. I am one of the 1st recipients of one of the earliest Monoclonal Anitbody (MAB) vaccines. I received my vaccine in 1995 at Stanford in a Phase II Clinical Trial for NHL. My Dr. was Dr. Ronald Levy (He's a Legend & I am honored to be one of his patients). He also co-founded IDEC which delivered Rituximab, aka Rituxin (the 1st MAB approved by the FDA for cancer treatment) IDEC later merged with Biogen in 2003.
My friend who was diagnosed on Sept. 3, 2011 with GBM, had only 5 days to find the DCVax-L trial and be accepted for screening. His Dr. at one of the local hospitals in our home town knew about the trial, but didn't recommend it. Our friend and his wife were appalled, when they found out! It took, 3 close friends working together to get him in to UCLA, one even made some calls to have a bed made available for him which wasn't available originally. Needless to say, he had brain surgery (performed by Dr. Linda Liau) 5 days later. Unfortunately he had a shadow after his chemo and radiation, (his white count was questionable as well) they decided to give him the vaccine and put him in his own compassionate use arm. Now I am not sure if he is the lone pseudo progressor or if he was the start of the information arm, but when I talked to his wife, she said, they started an arm just for him. He received his first vaccine in Dec. 2011. From that point forward he and his wife have been traveling the globe, enjoying their lives together. These 2 have been together since we were in HS and we are all in our mid to late 50's, so it's been wonderful to see them enjoying life. Now in October, of this year they found a spot. They did another MRI in Nov. 15 and confirmed it was back and it had doubled in size. They started him on chemo & radiation immediately. This month - His Dr.(this is the Oncologist that administers the radiation & chemo, not Dr. Liau who did his surgery) said, she was so surprised to see the spot stabilize and that she hadn't ever had a patient halt GBM growth after only one round of chemo, especially since it had doubled the month before.
I know people are frustrated with the share price drop and the lack of information, but being a cancer survivor who has gone through a clinical trial and seeing the success first hand, I believe this technology is working. It may not be "the Cure" for all but it can be for some and it can buy time for others. My friend is past the four year survival point from diagnosis. They had given him 17 months to live.
I thought some of you would appreciate the timeline. And the remark about the chemo after it reoccurred especially. We are praying DCVax is a cure for some, just as the MAB vaccine was a cure for me.
It also amazes me how fast the DCVax can be manufactured as mine took all of six months and they needed all of the grapefruit sized tumor to manufacture my vaccines. After my surgery and before my vaccine, I did 6 months of CVP chemo. Once I was free of cancer I received my vaccine, 1 shot in each arm (and darn it stung! It felt like someone took curling irons to the back of my arms). It made me sick, flu like symptoms for a couple of days, but nothing like the chemo. Which was horrible and by the way can cause cancer (if you read the fine print). I was 32 when I received my first 2 vaccines of many, I have never had another occurrence since.
My point is, I believe the DCVax technology is working. It may be working better in some than in others, but it is working, if it buys a cancer patient an extra 2 months or an extra 4 years, it's doing its job. And without the nasty, horrible side effects of continuous chemo & radiation. The QOL is SO Important to a cancer survivor. I believe in this technology like I believed in the MAB vaccine I had at Stanford 20 years ago.
And I wish all who are invested, whether as a patient, Dr., Clinical site, NWBO or here on this board Good Luck.
I am a new poster here. My husband & I have been following this board for quite a while now. I have a friend in the 55 patient compassionate use study. He received his vaccine at UCLA. He is now 3 years & nine months out from diagnosis. He, I believe was pseudo progressive. When he went for his MRI after treatment they saw a shadow, which could have been rapid progression or scar tissue, so he did not qualify for the Phase 3 study. His wife said the Dr.'s thought it was scar tissue. My friend is doing great! Just for the record I too am an autologous vaccine recipient. In 1995 I received a monoclonal antibody vaccine at Stanford for NHL. That was the Model T, this is the Ferrari. For the record... we are all in! GLTA
