Did she have any ctx?
She was the wife of a neighbor and I don't know what all treatments she had. I only know that she went to a a major cancer center in Seattle, received the standard treatments, whatever they are, and I think was doing a lot better for awhile and maybe even went into remission. But then it came back and that is probably when they tried the RTX. The neighbor mentioned a newer, very expensive treatment and I assumed it was RTX, and when I asked him, I'm pretty sure he said it sounded right. This was maybe 3 years ago and she died two years ago this month. That's about all I know and don't know the timeframes of her treatments. I don't feel comfortable asking him too many questions. He's taking it well, but it is a huge loss for him, and I don't bring up the subject much.
