Default Tovaxin trial

Hi Everybody,

My neuro is going to test me for the Tovaxin trial. I go in November 24th to sign papers then they have to see if I produce the T cells. I have done a trial before so this isn't all new to me.

Wish me luck on those T cells!

Keeping everything crossed for you, Ewizabeth.

Yes, please do keep us informed. I think this trial is a good one.

Thanks LeeAnn! I hope it works well, I don't feel great now, but maybe this will be the good treatment for me.

Thanks Sally, I hope it turns out to be a great treatment. My neuro is really hopeful for this one, he was involved in some early trials in the mid-90's, so he has been following this for a long time.

Good luck on the study! I have talked to one person that has been it for quite some time and doing very well. I know of two others that are accepted and are doing the test for the T cells now.
I wish you all the best, it looks very promising.

This is great, Elizabeth. I am so proud of you for being a pioneer for the rest of us.

I saw the video about Tovaxin and they made it all look so simple. If it works as they say it should, then this looks very promising.

I'm not crazy about any Med that messes with our Immune Systems, but if these Killer T-cells are the reason our myelin is being distroyed, then I say,, "Off with the little bastid's heads.

Much Luck and Love to you Wiz.

Sally, you have such a cute little way of cursing.

Elizabeth, I sincerely hope you get into this trial.

I have a few other friends who are just awaiting their results, to see if they have been accepted. I was also very friendly with Tim a year or two ago (he was one of the first to try it) and he has faired very well.

I think this might turn out to be our ticket!!! If not, the risks seem so minimal/non-existent that at least you are unlikely to suffer any ill-effects.

Good luck!

Cherie

Hi Sally and Cherie,

Thank you, I hope I have enough of the little bastids to get into the trial.

I read Tim's story and it gives me hope. It would be nice if they could help more people with MS with this treatment. I hope it does as well as they expect it to. I hope your other friends can get into the trial too Cherie.
