Dimas Padilla: Everything started in July
2011.
I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma
and I was in stage four when they found out.
I started getting a lot of tumors around my
neck to the point that it pressed my vocal cords.
I lost my voice.
They told me Dimas, I don’t have
good news.
The chemo is no longer, is not working.
Your tumors are keep growing so at this point
pretty much there’s not much we can do.
Frederick Locke: These patients are without
other hope.
Their life expectancy is, is a matter of months.
When I first saw Dimas his lymph nodes were
growing rapidly despite all the available
standard treatment options.
So yeah, he was in bad shape.
The “CAR” is simply a GPS navigation on
the front of that T-cell so it knows where
to go and to get to its target.
So a 100-kilogram man would get 200 million CAR
T-cells.
Padilla: Think about like an army of soldiers.
And once they see or they feel the cancer
cells, they destroy it.
But what happen is in your blood, so then
you get toxicity…and because it stays in
your blood that’s why out get those high
fevers.
I’m talking about 104, 105 degrees.
There is this phrase that I always keep in
my mind which is never broken because I didn’t
want the cancer to break me.
