25 million little cells

DC vaccine is in – the numbers and quality were great apparently – 25 million cells – and enough harvested and frozen for 15 more treatments if needed. the clinic is fantastic with some lovely personal touches like participating in an online questionnaire on how treatment affected you over the past week and actively involving you in the process of the vaccine.

Dr Nesselhut (all of them) and team seem to have all the time in the world to explain the process. It may be the sheer scale of clinic v hospital and closeness of "bench to bedside" that makes the difference.

They also show you the visual 'control' of the cells before and after and wow it's certainly spectacular – now it's up to my body to see if it works!

On a last note – proof the German's do have a sense of humour –  after putting a cannula needle in for later use the nurse said you can bend the arm but don't play any tennis this afternoon!

Komödie gold.
