Just wanted to let you know or remind you to watch the First In Human series on Discovery Channel that airs on Thursday the 10th. Dr. Rosenberg and Dr. Stephanie Goff are two of my doctors out at NIH and will be talking about the TIL treatment or Adoptive Cell Therapy that has made such a huge difference in my survival of cholangiocarcinoma! Amazing people, amazing research!

I remember an amazing research scientist told me one day with tears in his eyes that they learn from all the patients, not just the success stories. He was grateful for the patients who chose to participate in clinical trials and advance research.
