@ta52- Spreading the word is what gives hope to everyone who has cancer. That's what this site is all about. Hope that we have survived and can help others. Nothing can be more potent.

I think that people are afraid of immunotherapy because it's hard to understand and because it hasn't been around long enough, like chemo. Even the word chemo sounds familiar.

One of the best explanations of immunotherapy I've heard so far is that it is doing a CTRL-ALT-DELETE on your body's immune system and rebooting it to do what it should have been doing on its own: killing abnormal/cancer cells. And, with the potential of far fewer side effects than chemo.
