First Child To Receive CAR T-Cell Therapy Is 10 Years Cancer-Free 

Congrats to Emily for 10 cancer-free years! The work that the foundation is doing is tremendous.

My daughter was diagnosed at 3 did 2 years of chemo and went into remission. She relapsed 8 months later and did the reinduction, did a round of blinatoumamab and both failed her leukaemia was at 88% we had to make an end of life plan for her in case she didn’t make it to the car T cell therapy and she has now finished that the 3rd child in Australia to receive it and we just got her results today that she is again in remission I hope that her story turns out like this girls.

She is literally a beacon of hope for all families who have experienced car T cell therapy. My son had very little hope when he relapsed, but luckily he was the fifth child at his children’s hospital to receive this treatment and he hit his three year post car t anniversary a little over a month ago. We are so grateful to live in this time where he was given the treatment to keep him alive.

Congrats to Emily! A friend of mine relapsed with ALL and after an unsuccessful stem cell transplant received TCELL therapy as well, now they’re doing well too. Truly revolutionary therapy, I’m so glad that it exists.

So glad she is doing alright. Praying that she continues to be healthy and cancer free!

Thanks to Emily and her courage, she paved the way for countless children around the world find options after a time where there are no options.

Congratulations on being cancer free for 10 years! I hope and pray that you continue to be cancer free for the rest of your life, and go on to have a wonderful future ahead of you beautiful Emily! :-)

Congratulations Emily for 10 years cancer free 💕 I’m a cancer survivor too 10 years cancer free 👍🏼😊

If anyone looking to get CAR T and can’t afford it please look into India, they recently started CAR T and it’s cheaper compared to west. I read that it costs 20-30,000 dollars. But they are bringing it down to 10,000 depending on the amount of patients. Hope my message reaches to people in need.

She's a beautiful young lady I'm so excited that her parents took that opportunity to not only save her life, but the life of many. They should name it after her. Enjoy your life beautiful.

This is beautiful. Gives others and their family with similar diagnosis so much hope. Congratulations to this beautiful young lady and her family and thank you for spreading awareness of this new treatment. 🙏🏻💕

Delighted to see this story. The Whiteheads are amazing. So happy for Emily and lovely to see her all grown up!

she's a miracle, 11 years cancer free as of 10 May 2023, keep fighting!

Thank you Emily. Because of your success as well as others, my husband's T Cells are being manufactured right now to treat his chemo refractory Philadelphia Chromosome Positive B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. As recently as 8 years ago, Car T Cell Therapy wasn't approved for my husband's type. This gives me so much hope!!! ❤❤❤

So happy for Emily, her family, dtrs & researchers in the pipeline that made this happen. Best wishes for Emily!

I read her story on caring bridge when it was happening and was so scared that she was going to die. These parents are so brave and amazing to stop at nothing to save their daughter. What a group of amazing doctors for their lifesaving research. Best wishes to Emily. She is a lovely young woman and deserves the absolute best in life. She is an inspiration.

so happy to see her be 10 years cancer free and so thankful for these cancer researchers.

What an amazing story, and what a lovely girl

This is great hope she has a full happy life

Congratulations so happy for you all

As a scientist in CAR T cell research, i am glad that it is giving hope, I would like ever cancer patient be lucky like Emily,but it breaks my heart to see lots of lives could be saved if were cost effective except for those companies that care more about money than saving lives.

This is amazing! CONGRATULATIONS EMILY! I have Car T therapy in the near future and im looking forward to being CANCER FREE AGAIN!!!!

Congrats to Emily

Sobbinggggg

Hi Dr. Grub, if you see this: can you try to get in touch with Dr. Jeff Boris at CHOP cardiology, Dr. Blair Grubb at Toldeo U (director of Cardiac Electrophysiology/ cardiologist, head of autonomic disorder fellowship training program UTMC, and innate immune system pathophysiology researcher), Dr. Anne Maitland at Mt Sinai- NY (MD& Ph. D at UPenn, professor of Allergy & Immunology/ clinical Immunology at Mount Sinai), and/or Lauren Stiles at Dysautonomia International. I'm a CHOP grad- now adult patient living with post EBV dysautonomia and severe mast cell activation related idiopathic anaphylaxis (and related immuno-mediated autoimmune disease) and CHOP diagnosed classical ehlers danlos syndrome (the hypermobile type, previously type 3, is expected to be as common as 1 in 33 but rarely dx). There's several of us- once peds- now adult post viral immuno-mediated chronically ill patients with connective tissue disease presentation consistent with EDS, Marfans, sticklers, hypermobility spectrum disorder, and similar disease pathogenesis.. Including a large majority of post viral blood cancer survivors of Burkett's lymphoma, ALL, AML, aplastic anemia, mastocytosis, etc. There HAS to be a link with risk of developing these post viral blood cancers and underlying connective tissue disorder.. just look at Emily's dad.. he's definition marfanoid habitus phenotype. The other side is neurofibromatosis type 2 which is also mast cell mediated immunomodulated growth. Many of us who have post viral autoimmunity related dysautonomia respond positively to HD iVIG product and gleevac; which further suggests similar underlying mechanism of disease. If not to evaluate the underlying connection, at least please try to reach out for the sake of post chemo autonomic neuropathy management. I think it could lead to better application in use of the CAR T cell to a wider and huge spectrum of further understanding of the shared underlying Mechanisms that can be cross applied. Thanks!

Finally some great news

I hope you are answering comments... What is the immunotherapy treatment called ( CAR T therapy ) Is this in the same as, Ippivilomab, Yervoy, Keytruda? Sorry about the spelling! I'd appreciate an answer! Thank you love and light to all Dr's , Scientist and family here♡ Mary

A blessing from God! Praise Him!!

Yay💖👍🏼💐❣️🏆

Emily got some killer eyebrows!

No mention of the $800,000 US price tag...

Everyone should be honoring Dr Grupp and his staff at CHOP which is the best childre’s hospital in the world

Thanks for all you do dr oiwoh on RU-vid you have a good heart keep on the good deed towards getting people cured may God always blsss you.🙏🙏.

Science is amazing.

Congratulations! How about the poor? Can they access? I wish the doctors can train the world & make it free for cancer patients to make it.

I read a book 20 years ago by an oncologist that taking zinc will increase the t-cells.

Slowly but surely 1 case ata time this will change when the industry stop seeing cancer as a very lucrative blood y duty business around the world ,..will change

Am i the only one who is waiting till they post the ST4 interview

Cancer is normal their are all types of cancer someone will get in life.

Unfornately its shortterm 10,20 years max

So does everyone get this treatment or ???

WTF this was 10 years ago? How many people are suffering and dying. And she was cures 10 years ago.what does this cost.

😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐⭐

What about for pets?

Science is great... Does alot of things a God can't.

HMM THIS WAS 10 YEARS AGO AND SO WHY THEY TRYING TO PUSH THIS NOW , AND 5 YEARS AGO WHt?

Du bist mein Idol Kimmy-jka.Monster immer in meinem herzen, schon, liebe, wahlen, kulturell ❤ Sie sind einesx der besten Konzerte..sh

Chemotherapy doesn’t work just do this

Königsberg is German! West Thrace, Thessaloniki, Burgas, Aleppo, Mosul, Kirkuk, Batumi, Cyprus, islands, Crete will be Turkish lands! We will take our lands back to it's real owner we will take them from occupation! We will take our old lands back! Real Turks are coming again!

God and his unintelligent design almost ended this young women...but science....cell biology...the acquired facts and understanding of evolutionary theory...genetics....SCIENCE saved this women from the unintelligent lunacy of Jesus, Allah etc.

He said those this work for everyone "No" Yeah if a family is broke it doesn't work for them

Sounds expensive Poor kids couldn't afford that! I'm pretty sure these evil doctors Could careless about other kids Now that they know this treatment works! This little girl was just lucky to be a genepig .

Thank you Emily. Because of your success as well as others, my husband's T Cells are being manufactured right now to treat his chemo refractory Philadelphia Chromosome Positive B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. As recently as 8 years ago, Car T Cell Therapy wasn't approved for my husband's type. This gives me so much hope!!! ❤❤❤
