My cousin was recently diagnosed with DIPG and hopes to qualify for CAR-T, especially in Seattle. He is almost done with radiation. Does anyone know what kind of “washout” periods are required before starting CAR-T therapies for DIPG? Is there a washout period for ONC201? CBD and CBG? Steroids? Avastin? Other supplements? Etc.. are the washouts before cell collection or just before infusions? Thanks for all your help.
My six-year-old daughter was diagnosed DIPG two months ago. This has destroyed my world. I have no idea what caused her to develop this, but I’m always searching for answers. My spouse recently blamed me for causing it stating that because I didn’t put her to bed on time each night that weakened her ability to fight off these bad cells. And it’s true, I was bad about making her go to sleep right away I would sing to her most nights and we’d watch short Pokémon videos on YouTube before she would go to sleep. Is it true that this could’ve caused it? Please, I know this isn’t a thread full of neuro- oncologists but from what anyone has seen is this really a possibility?
