New Co-STAR T cells show promise for treating cancers in laboratory study
The very building where I received all my treatments and the superhero care team at johns hopkins who continue to extend my glorious, yet sometimes questionable existence on this little pebble we call earth. I couldn't be any luckier than I am to have the Immunotherapy experts on the leading edge of that science on my side. Its like being able to say you've got your own personal doctor mcCoy as your doctor. I read into my personal oncologist's college research papers and she is a dynamo on immunology, which is what my fight with cancer has boiled down to. A battle of cells and mutations in my blood that can only be waged chemically. Her intellect makes mine want to crawl back under a primordial rock. Add to that the fact that hopkins is a research and teaching hospital which allows my fight to have the possibility of helping others in the future. Yesterday's visit I allowed my oncologist to have an intern sit in on our consultation, explaining how strange my ankles are with the cancer driven leukocytoclastic vasilitis (luke-skywalker-vasilitis because I cannot force my brain to spell that.)and how that will always be a weak spot we must keep an eye on. I am an interesting specimen that is glad to be part of this study of a rare medical aspect of my horrors that may ease the horrors of another in the future. Perhaps a child. that can help make your horrors... less horrible, in a relative perception.
I'm very lucky, very privileged, and very grateful to be where I am, with who I am blessed to have as my superhero team. They hate when I call them that, but they do blush a bit when I do.
