immunotherapy
and is it working? Thanks, Karen

the end of the race for a PD cure
"...any certified
immunotherapy
is at least six to seven years away". !! While I've learned to not get too excited by medical developments in PD (and, in particular, to the time frames suggested) it's hard not to feel a tinge of hope when reading this piece from today's Boston Globe.

Chronic Mild Productive cough
Before i start
immunotherapy
i have to rule out if there is anything causing this cough except Allergy.(Like thyroid or Larynx) Can B12 deficiency cause productive cough? I know it can cause nerve damage in Larynx but then cough should not be productive.

Did This really happen?
The only reason I went in the first place was to see if I would qualify for any
immunotherapy
trials, but Gunga Din said that chemotherapy has to be a first treatment before I would be considered for a trial.

I am not sure how long this has been around, but I hadn't heard of it before. It certainly looks promising for people with some types of cancer. I see skin cancer treated this way has been successfully treated and lung cancer held at bay. A lady in the article has had an extra two years of life, following

How Long To Wait For Trials and Treatments ?
The taking of the Chemotherapy and
Immunotherapy
are thankfully over, but remember it stays in your system for some while (6->8 weeks as best I know) and I’m still suffering from falling red blood cell count and Neutrophils, so I will hopefully be in for a red blood cell transfusion later this week.

Silicon Porous Micro Particles and cancer
These are intended to kick the body's own immune system into action to fend off the cancerous cells, with
immunotherapy
drugs for melanomas, prostate and lung cancer all emerging in recent years. But one hurdle oncologists are yet to tackle with any great success is a vaccine for breast cancer.

I've also read that the Scottish nhs has just given the go ahead for Nintedanib, an
immunotherapy
drug, to be used to treat some patients. I believe that NICE may follow suit in May.

Chemo makes resistant cancer stem cells???
This would be quite an interesting paradigm shift from what I understood was the prime reason for therapy drug resistance. It is commonly assumed, in CLL/SLL, that clones are born with different degrees of resistance to drugs and lay in hiding only to emerge after therapy or a time lapse. Speculation

Can Your Body Be Trained to Cure Its Own Cancer?
Continued research in the area of
immunotherapy
is uncovering its power to fight cancer naturally while preserving the body's healthy cells. The exciting concept behind
immunotherapy
is that it uses the power of the body's own immune system to essentially treat itself.
