Hi all,

I have seen the doctor of the French blood institute yesterday.

They uses a dissociated system in collaboration with the university hospital. Technically, they will treat 4 liters of my blood (centrifugation). After centrifugation of theses 4 liters (in multiples pass, take approximately 2 hours ), they obtain approximately 100 ml of blood (lymphocytes). They mix the 100ml with 200 ml saline and then, the blood is irradiated with the UV.

They reinfuse the blood after the irradiation (take 1 to 2 Hours). The blood is irradiated and reinfused at the Hospital.

My doctor is currently speaking with the hospital to have an appointment for the reinfusion.

I will begin treatment early in January normally.
My doc have prescribed 1 session per week for on month at the moment.
