Ultimately definitive immunotherapy will be needed. Sadly adenocarcinomas that respond to chemotherapy usually recur. Still if he lives more than 9 months with that diagnosis, he has benefitted immensely with the treatment.
30 years ago my 49 year old father-in-law went from no indication of cancer to dead from pancreatic cancer in six months. Back then it was basically a death sentence to get it.
My son has a type of brain cancer with a life expectancy of two to four months. He was diagnosed a year ago. They think they have the tumor knocked down now and he seems to be doing very well.
It is so promising to see advances in the cure for this horrible disease.
Buzzi has lived years with this cancer. Too many years.
“Ultimately definitive immunotherapy will be needed”
Marker Therapeutics Inc running out of Univ. of Baylor Medical is doing some great things in this T-Cell area. Nothing is through phase II yet. But so far they have shown great results with Blood cancers with minimal side effects which is the Elephant in the Room with many Immunotherapies. They should be moving towards solid tumor therapies as well. I took out a small stake in their stock. Only $5 a share and a good candidate to be bought out by Big Pharma for a lot more.

I was told to go home and put my stuff in order because the doctors only gave me maybe 2 weeks to live with my Stage 4A Pancreatic Cancer. That was 19 years ago come this Oct 11th. My Oncologist openly wept as she wrote in my records “Cured” after a horrible 8 year battle. Very long and intense story to tell here. Let’s just say I praise My Lord 24/7.
