Great, although it's sad that you seemingly have to be a doctor to convince another doctor to try things like this.
Now let's extend this concept to giving immunotherapy before chemotherapy, since chemotherapy wipes your immune system. It doesn't make sense to do chemo before immunotherapy when you want the immune system to attack the cancer. On the other hand, if the immune system goes on a rampage against healthy cells, then chemo could be used to wipe it again, while also stopping cancer growth.
