Thanks for sending me the link regarding Covid and metastasis. I read the article and found it kind of alarming that once again, I was not given any info regarding this type of info. I have had every Covid vaccine at this point...I'm to 10 at this point. I did send the link to my younger sister who has colon cancer and 3 yrs clear up to now. She's not someone who has rec'd the vaccine regularly. I hope the info I sent will give her something to think about.
Thus far, all of the testing thru Princess Margaret (and there has been a LOT) hasn't disqualified me for the trial. Just waiting the brain mri this Satuday. If it's clear, it's possble I could start my treatment earlier than Sept 4th. Thanks for you support, muchly appreciated.

@donnademps you are most welcome. so far, none of the physicians I've discussed it with as a patient or friend/family member are aware of the study. 😬 I hope the info will also help your sister stay safe. 🙏🏻
There was another large study done in China that showed COVID impairs your immune system. Most "healthy" adults lose about 10% of their CD8 Tcells per infection and only gain back around 3% per year. In people with heart disease, the numbers were much worse. This also seems like important information for people with cancer, since we need our CD8 cells to fight cancer cells. 😔 😷

I'm so glad all of your prework for the study has gone well. Everything is crossed for your brain MRI, too. ❤️
