    Marion,

    I am not sure of the exact types of GI cancers the eight before me had. All I know is that I am the first and so far the only Cholangio participant. I believe the others had received chemo, I think that is one of the requirements of the protocol. The trial information is listed at the following link and the protocol ID is 100166
    10-C-0166, NCT01174121
    or you can search GI-TIL
    http://www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials
    Please let me know if you have any more questions.

    Melinda….fantastic news. Congratulations. Melinda, I am wondering: When initially reported, you mentioned that eight people had enrolled in this trial.
    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19304471
    Out of these eight people, how many are treated for epithelial cancers? And, do you know whether other patients had also received prior chemotherapy?

    Again, you deserve a big hug for the impressive response to the treatment of the immune system.

    Thanks so much for sharing this important information with us.

    Hugs,
    Marion

    I just returned home from my 4th checkup since my initial treatment in April on the GI-TIL trial at National Institute of Health. I have officially reached the partial response rate of 30.06% and am now considered a success and the first one to be successful!!!! I seem to be averaging about a 7% shrinkage rate on my tumors each month without any treatment other than the initial treatment in April. I feel amazing and am so happy this has been working! I just wanted to update with the news! God Bless…Melinda
