I know that Laura’s Go Fund Me page initially was raising money for the specials program for DCVax. I think there may have been an issue with having saved her first tumor properly, which may have been why she opted for the IOZK clinic with their dendritic cell vaccine (that does not use the patient’s tumor) instead.

Nicola Nuttall:

We had decided to explore a form of vaccine immunotherapy (DCVax) with a company called Northwest Bio and our oncologist had assured us that he’d been told there was plenty of tissue frozen and available to use for this purpose. However, when their laboratory began the process of producing the lysate to make the vaccine, there was nowhere near enough, just the tiniest sliver. We’d fundraised the money required to produce the vaccine, but the treatment wasn’t possible because we just didn’t have the tumour tissue, this was utterly devastating.
