Dana Farber

Dana Farber has a phase 2 clinical trial in mind but needed to stabilize his cervical vertebrae which were quite damaged by cancer. Things move quickly here. First oncology consult about clinical trial was Wednesday, imaging same day showed damage to C1-2-3 resulting in surgical consult Thursday and admittance to hospital. He’s in surgery today (Friday) at Brigham and Women's in Boston and I’m waiting patiently. 

If all goes well with the surgery, the clinical trial sounds promising. It's a combination therapy, immunotherapy with something more targeted. We're waiting to see if he's accepted but in the meantime needed to stabilize the spine and then heal from the surgery. Infusions would start in a couple weeks.

Positive energy sent his/our way will be hugely appreciated.
