Celebration time! Today I had my 4-monthly checkup: 19 months after having done TIL, I am still completely ‘clean’. Bloodwork is clean of melanoma and CT-scan is also clean.
Congratulations Hein! Such wonderful news. You deserve to celebrate, and I also pray that Pati will be celebrating with you soon. You are both so deserving of good news.
Indeed still dealing with the hearing loss and treating this week with cortisone so I hope it becomes normal like the eye problem. Fatigue is better day by day, really slowly, so I am looking forward to follow your path….
This is wonderful news. It is great to hear a success story. I was wondering if you had brain mets before TIL. My husband has 12 brain tumors. He is undergoing WBR right now.
I did not have braintumors. Braintumors are an exclusion upto now for the TIL’s in Amsterdam. I know they did TIL on at least two patients with brainmets at Christie’s in Manchester. It has been proven TIL also works on braintumors, but I don’t know if there are complete responders who had braintumors. I have been told braintumors are an additional risk for TIL because of possible liquidation or hemoridges in the brain but I don’t know if that’s true.
