Had immune cells harvested, sent to lab, told insufficient cells collected. This was first treatment. Any experience with rate of cell collection failure? The reasons? The likelihood of repeat failure. Can't get answer from doctors office, just told repeat the processes. Another factor, blood pressure spikes twice over 200, was OK after completed. Don't know how common blood pressure spike is.
