I believe I've heard it described as using the immune system to treat cancer.  I don't know the specifics of what is done to make it effective.

@Mellie32 I went to look this up myself as I had never heard of it . . . very interesting as personally I am not a fan of big pharma:

 

Immunotherapy, also called biologic therapy, is a type of cancer treatment designed to boost the body's natural defenses to fight the cancer. It uses substances either made by the body or in a laboratory to improve or restore immune system function.

How wonderful to read such a positive update.  I have followed their love story for years an I am so happy for  them.

 

To love that deeply, care that strongly and fight that valiantly, what a joy to read about a couple truly liviing their vows.  For too many, for better or worse, in sickness and in health are merely words.

 

Bless them both. Heart

I've always liked Lisa Mason and loved her personality, her southern charm and wit, her perseverance and how she relied on her faith!
