    I was wondering if anyone has heard from Shane? He did the TIL harvest and they had his cells ready but he was in too much groin pain so he was getting it radiated then was going to continue with TIL. That's the last I heard.

        Pretty good. He thinks radiating the ball and socket of my hip should help my walking a lot. He is also radiating the tumor in the tibia bone that is apparently somewhere just below my knee. I'm glad my radiation doc is very optimistic. Although he's doing low dose radiation this time I had my third treatment today and at least I haven't had to take any pain pills since Friday. I'm not too sure yet if it has improved my walking much though. I got seven more treatments to go. Probably the higher dose radiation would be more affective but I didn't question him about it this time.

        Thank you are asking ๐Ÿ™‚
