A Little Dog and a Giant Tumor ❤️‍🩹✨ On the streets, a stray dog wandered with a frail body and a massive tumor attached to him. People passed by without stopping until one kind-hearted person came along. They gently took him in and rushed him to a veterinary hospital. The veterinarians performed surgery to remove the tumor. It was a difficult operation, but thankfully, it was a success. In the days that followed, he was surrounded by devoted care: medicine, nourishing meals, and the warmth of genuine compassion. Little by little, the tired look in his eyes faded. His coat became healthy and shiny again. He began to run, wag his tail, and look at the person who saved him with eyes full of gratitude. Today, that little dog has made a full recovery and is a happy member of his new family. Once abandoned and struggling to survive, he was given a second chance at life because one person chose kindness instead of walking away. One small act of compassion changed an entire life. ❤️🐶

Mulago National Referral Hospital doctors have successfully done a parasitic twin surgery. A surgical procedure was done to remove an underdeveloped, parasitic twin from a living host twin. The surgery was successfully done and the viable twin is doing well. A Parasitic twin surgery is usually a life-saving procedure to remove an underdeveloped, dependent twin (parasite) from a fully formed, healthy twin (autosite). It is necessary to eliminate risks like infection, heart failure, or organ damage caused by the parasitic tissues.

$NWBO #DCVax #GBM Braelyn's mother said something tonight that deserves to be read twice: promising science means very little if the patients who need it cannot access it. I made this explainer because her story has a mechanism behind it, and that mechanism turns on one detail most people will read past. Her tumor tissue was properly preserved. That is not paperwork. A dendritic cell vaccine is built from the patient's own tumor, and it has to be whole tumor material, because the immune system's instruction step requires intact protein in order to work at all. A fragment cannot do it. A prediction cannot do it. The tissue is the curriculum, and it exists for a few hours in an operating room and then it is gone forever. Braelyn nearly lost that window. Not because the science was unavailable, but because nobody told her family it mattered before she went under. Dr. Liau operated, removed roughly 90% of a tumor spanning three lobes, and the tissue was preserved and sent to England. She has had three induction doses and a booster. Tonight the UCLA tumor board found no visible tumor, including the portion that had to be left behind. Her radiation, her surgery, her vaccine and her Keytruda are all in that result, and I'm not going to pretend I can separate them. What I can say is that three of those four options were available to her the whole time, and the fourth almost wasn't, for a reason that had nothing to do with biology. Every glioblastoma patient going to the OR this week faces the same window. Most of them will never be told it exists. That is a fixable problem. It should already have been fixed. No evidence of disease. Congratulations, Braelyn. 🙏🏻 #DCVaxForBraelyn
