I don't usually share fundraiser links, but this one is worth it...

From Kenny @ NYC Norton:

Our fast friend Doug MacRae has fought like no other - taking on his stage 4 brain cancer like he would riding his beautiful Norton in a Heavyweight race at Mosport. He’s never once asked for anything in all of this, and his attitude towards living with cancer is inspirational.
Now his healthcare support has run out. There is promising experimental care that can give him months, or maybe years, of life, but it’s out of pocket. I’m reaching out, not only to my moto friends, but anyone who might have a buck to give to a wonderful cause.

Thanks. -Kenny

There is so much I know now, compared to what I knew at the beginning, it's hard to know what to tell others.

My initial clinical trials are done, and the data is in. There are multiple parts to it.

We were asking a few questions here.

Is the virus effective, does it infect and kill the injected tumors. Yes.

Does the virus infect tumors that are not injected, by traveling through the body and infecting other tumors? Yes (this happens very rapidly with lymphatic tumors)

Do the glycoproteins manufactured, by the virus change (trigger) anti-cancer immune response in general? Yes

Does the glycoprotein, designed to trigger monoclonal antibody response in patients where it either was or became ineffective? Yes.

As to me personally... Like most of the patients in the study, I had tried a monoclonal antibody before, and it stopped working. This was effectively a death sentence before this new therapy, and straight up it's the reason I joined this clinical trial.

This time I went through 6 months injecting tumors and infusing the monoclonal Nivolumab every two weeks. I then did two months with Nivolumab alone, with twice the dose once a month.

I lost cancer at an amazing rate with the viral injections. Like, I have seen large tumors just turn to fluid in a matter of weeks. It's a little unpredictable. Like with my largest tumor it ate a hole out of it center of the tumor from the bottom up till it got to the skin then ate a hole out of the skin because it had some cancerous cells in it surface.

This left me with a deep one-inch hole, which I have had to bandage daily since January. It's actually kind of cool because I could watch the virus kill the cancer in real time, with a daily update. The pics are epic.

In general, I have lost roughly 75% of my cancer. The tumor in my lungs is receding, the tumors in my liver, bones, and lymph nodes, are gone.

With me, the viral treatment is so effective, we have just gone back to injecting. So I think six more injections or until we run out of tumors to inject.

As to everything else. I'm still on the zero carb (under six carbs a day) all meat and fat diet, weight stable, and my blood values are perfect,

So things are good
:D


The other day, one of my doctors asked me how I was doing. I said you would know. He laughed and said, "Psychologically."

I told him it's a bit of a mindfuck.

I did not think I was going to live this long, now I could be in remission by the end of the year. This means I'm going to have to do some things I've been avoiding, like getting my teeth cleaned
:D


At any rate, if the data proves out long term, PD1 checkpoint monoclonal antibodies like nivolumab and pembrolizumab are now going to be more effective, for more people.

Like 30% more effective, for treatments that are already being called miracle cures.

Works for me

Some things seem to be very unjust. In Australia, Doug would be hekped regardless. I do not have any funds which I can donate, but there must be other ways to hekp ?

Done.
 
Among other outlets I've shared this to a predominant motorcycle journalist publisher/editor friend who lives down the road from me who has many global connections within the industry 🙏...he also has a soft spot for this Marque (after few sessions in my shed)
