Updates from Pat G
Dear Family member,
When my communications falter, it means that I am praying. My mother taught me the power of prayer; experience teaches me the power of man.
I am Catholic, Buddhist, Sikh, Hebrew, Atheist, and Muslim. I am all of these things as sure as love binds us.
We have treated 3 patients with the SKI-EGT collaborative vector. We used myelosuppression, not myeloablation. The difference is that one suppresses the bone marrow and the other kills it.
One of the 3 patient has reduced transfusions by 50%. This is amazing and I know that I (for Rocco) as well as many of you would stand on your head in line to reduce transfusions by 50%.
We’re obviously aiming for a cure. Unfortunately, the ship that was in port has been pushed back out to sea. I’m not really sure why this happened. There is no doubt that this project has attracted the attention of all sorts of people. There is no doubt that conflicting agendas are coming into play so I am following what my mother taught. When you don’t know what else to do, pray with all of your heart. I am asking you to do this for our project.
We are so close.
My love always,
pat girondi
