Stealing a line from our good friend Wayne Welton, Wednesday is opening day for the Sontag team. The cell collection (apheresis) for the CAR T-Cell clinical study is on. Results from the bone marrow biopsy came back positive, with only 13 percent of the bone marrow affected with leukemia. Down from the 20-30 percent from the bone marrow biopsy a month ago, the chemotherapy continues to have a beneficial effect, according to another close friend, Ed Feldman.

Don your team shirts on Wednesday and let’s have an Orange-out Day for Dave. Your support, thoughts and prayers have made such a powerful impact on his fight to beat cancer. Please add to your prayers and pray for all who fight any form of cancer. No one can do this alone, but together we’ve got this!
