Key Points
Camille Goodale was 19 and a sophomore in college when she was diagnosed with leukemia.She joined a cell therapy clinical trial that killed 98% of her cancer within days.She believes there's a reason she's alive after so many serious complications...
After more bloodwork, doctors explained my initial treatment protocol would last eight months..
During the trial, doctors would harvest my T-cells, part of my immune system..
When I learned that a similar trial was taking place at Seattle Children's Hospital, my mom and I traveled to Washington so I could do treatment there hopefully with a team that had better bedside manners..
Doctors weren't sure how my body would react to the engineered cells, and they wanted to keep a close eye on me..
