Thank you @loribmt ! We stayed at the Towneplace Suites. A 7min walk to the Gonda building with a free shuttle bus every 30min and free breakfast. It was great.

The Mayo Clinic is pretty impressive. The doctors are knowledgeable, thorough and spent time answering questions.

One of the trials they proposed is

A BITE T cell therapy. If and when we might need it in the future.

Wondering if anyone here is on it and how is the treatment side effects?

Hi @utravelone8671! It’s great you had such a productive and enjoyable experience at Mayo/Rochester! I agree whole heartedly with you that Mayo Clinic is pretty impressive. No wonder it’s been voted the #1 medical center in the world many times!

So far I’ve not found members who have had the BiTE T Cell therapy. (bispecific T-cell engager). I’m expecting the procedure is similar to CAR-T.
Moffitt Cancer Center has a good article online with a broad perspective of the newer immunotherapy treatments you might be interested in reading:

In the meantime is your husband to stay on his current treatment for pancreatic cancer? Is CAR-T off the table?
