RE: BBC 4 Tonight at 9.0024 Jun 2019 23:13
Really hoping as many of us as possible watched that documentary. For those who have and those that can still watch it , it is 32 minutes in when Immunatherapy is first mentioned and the gentlemans appointment with Jim Allison at the M.D.Anderson Centre in Houston. The enormity of what is being achieved and what we pray we can compete with is laid very bare.
From sequencing to videos of T.Cells in action and group therapies attended by patients who had stage 3/4 melanoma and are surviving 4 years on, where it is there hope as Jim Allison quoted ""We could be seeing the ""c"" word being used.
I found the science extraordinary and related to the human emotions involved and the programme encaptured that to perfection. So if anybody didn"t catch it, it was on BBC4 at 9.00, and whatever stage of research you are at it wil explain more than pages and pages of PDFs ever will. That is what we are up against and they talk about combination therapies in trials too. Wouldn"t it be something if we can achieve what is happening out there?
Goodnight, a must watch documentary.
