      Thanks Brian for the post!!! Pam Sharma and Jim Allison were doing something similiar back in 2014 and are probably still expanding this type of research in the U.S.A. Check out the link at the 14 min mark Dr. Sharma starts talking about pre surgery immunotherapy treatments for stage 3 patients. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kEc2aa63NQ  Best Wishes!!!Ed

        In the creation of my therapy plan I was told about a clinical trial where the immune therapy was done first followed by surgery. I opted for surgery first in order to get it out of my body asap.

        However, I do believe that within 10 years the standard of practice for state III will be immune therapy first followed by surgery (or possibly not followed by surgery if it is unnecessary).
