Immunotherapy

I have been getting Alimta every three weeks which has heed pretty tolerable and has stabilized my markers. It seems as if we are just treating markers because, although high, I continue to have no real symptoms. I am now beginning to look into a program doing immunotherapy at Sloan in NYC with Paul Sabbitini. I was wondering if you are familiar with this protocol? I understand there are little side effects. Any info you can provide will be appreciated.

HI there

thank you so much for the update. I am not sure if this is what you are being offered but I pasted a link below to a press release from Sloan. It looks very reasonable.
I think you are an ideal candidate for a clinical trial.

also if this is not the agent you have been offered let me know the name of it and we can chat some more
please let us know how it goes

take care

Thank you for your response but the treatment is with Dr Sabbatini and the agent is Abagovomab at MSKCC -
