Happy Easter!
Since you are in S Calif wondering if you have read or know of Dr Patrick Soon-Shiong ? I listened to a 3 hr podcast discussing his strategy with pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, and long COVID. Very interesting. He created Abraxane. And now has an FDA approved therapy for bladder cancer. Located in El Segundo.

I think I listened to the same podcast and got pretty excited. He's obviously a respected and accomplished medical professional, but also a very successful businessman. The latter gives me some reason to be skeptical/cautious. When I went to the NCT website to investigate clinical trials, I found that a large number of those with his name in the text had been terminated or withdrawn: https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?term=Shiong
Companies he appears to have a stake in include (the now merged) ImmunityBio and NANT Bioscience. Searches for these keywords also return a lot of terminated and withdrawn trials.
I can't make a judgment solely on that data, but it also suggests homework is warranted.

No, I hadn’t heard of him, but so very interesting that he was also on COVID vaccine team. A very smart man. Previously had a neighbor who’s boyfriend had bladder cancer and heard it was very painful; really hoping dr has hit the jackpot again.
