I was really scared undergoing one round as I was on a phase 1 clinical trial and the first person in the Boston area to agree to going on it and I did it not only for myself but for other people. It was a long six months of once a week treatments but in the end it saved my life. I guess it is a decison that each person must make for themselves which is the best course of action for them but I know that I made the right decision for myself and thank God that I had wonderful doctors.

Thank you for sharing your journey - may you be blessed with many more years.
