Whoa..?! Where did that come from? I now have a third alternative treatment!
Okay for those of you playing along at home you will remember that my Fibrosis is back (read cancerous growth inside my bone marrow) Anyway we tried dropping my immunosupression and that didn't work at attacking the the fibrosis. Although it was great for getting my off all those drugs. Anyway the next idea was to try Donor Lymphocyte Infusion (take cells from my donor/brother and inject them into me) these new angry cells would come in and kick hell out of the fibrosis.
We are already talking with my brother about the trip over and Doc Shoezenbootzen floors us with ..
"want to get into a trial in a few weeks" Apparently they have found that some patients respond positively to getting a shot of Tessellated Interferon each week for two months and I guess that makes my own cells angry enough to kick s**t out of the fibrosis.
We can go on to the DLI or maybe do both later. All this would be before doing a full transplant again.
So I will once again be 'presented' to the transplant committee next thursday to see if I am eligible. If so then the Bro get puts on hold for a bit.
I told you there would be more later!
Chris
