[autologousvax95]

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.
