‘The treatment saved my life’
WHEN Dimas Padilla found out his cancer had returned for a third time, doctors told him he had only months to live.
The father of two, first diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2011, had started putting his affairs in order when he received a call asking him to take part in a medical trial. Last week Mr Padilla, a
-year-old sales rep from Florida, celebrated two years in remission following CAR-T cell therapy.
When he joined the trial, he had large tumours in his neck. He said: ‘Within two days of the treatment, they were gone. It was incredible. This treatment saved my life.’
