The first part of the DC treatment involves harvesting blood monocytes but with the recent chemo there was concern my levels may not be high enough to collect. The blood test was a good result – pic below of numbers – and they set about the collection of monocytes which I understand will be enough for all the treatments, saving the seven days of priming the cells each time. I will head to London in between the time in Germany – the first round will be done by the end of January and the next treatment starts on the 17th Feb till the 21st. So efficient they have already organised the schedules.
The practise website helps explain the process of harvesting.
