Hello @nogginquest

Good to hear from you. Thanks for the update. I'm sorry to hear of the side effects that you've experienced, but I hope that you will benefit from the treatment after it is completed. How frequently do you have the treatments?

I have to travel to Johns Hopkins every three weeks. The schedule of treatment meds is really random at times. It almost seems like the doc is trying to trick the cancer into submission.

Some weeks I will receive the two immunotherapy drugs, chemo, listeria, and the GVAX. Other weeks it's just one immunotherapy, chemo, listeria, and GVAX. Then another week they may leave out the listeria but include both immunotherapy drugs without the chemo.

I don't care what they do as long as it does something.
