    Wow, this sounds quite promising. Always glad to see new cancer treatments beyond radiation and chemotherapy. Immunotherapy seems pretty cool.

      I bore witness to my father dying from Grade 4 Glioblastoma Multiform over 12 months.

      Not recommend.

      At least he doesn’t have to grieve my dead brother anymore.

        My condolences. Brain tumours have affected my family as well.

        I hope new treatments can spare future people from such a fate. Cancer is a complex and difficult disease to crack, but I’m sure we can eventually solve it.
