"I emailed Dr. Ashkan a few days ago about my friend that just had a brain tumor partially removed last week. Well I woke up this morning and saw his reply to me. It said:
“ Dear Mr Davis,
Thank you for your email and sorry to hear about your friend.
Unlike the situation in the US, we have been able to offer DCVax on a private self-pay basis to selected patients in the UK for many years now. I have many patients from the US who come to the UK to receive this treatment.
Please ask your friend/ his children to contact my PA, Salima, to arrange for a virtual or telephone consultation in the first instance so I can get the full history and also explain the process etc. Salima is on:
salima.makkaoui2@hcahealthcare.co.uk
Of course we will do our best to help if at all possible,
Best regards,
I am so grateful that he replied and can’t what to tell my friend Joel."
First of all, I'm happy for your friend, that there's hope.
second of all, is no one else pissed off at this?!!! We have been able to offer dc-vax in the UK for many years now to a selected few. Why is this not known to the public and especially to the doctors? If Joel had not had a friend who knows about dc-vax through Ihub, would Joel have known about this treatment? "For many years now", let that sink in. 2 friends of mine passed away from cancer. I told them to look up NWBO. I dont know if they ever did, but I'm guessing if they asked their doctors about it, they knew nothing. Posters keep asking "well what should they PR"?
How about "Unlike the situation in the US, we have been able to offer DCVax on a private self-pay basis to selected patients in the UK for many years now. I have many patients from the US who come to the UK to receive this treatment." for starters, followed by the success rate.
Even now, after they get approval, I don't have confidence they will know how to get the word out to the world.
