Linda in her favorite fuzzy sweater
I just now cancelled my subscription to the Bellingham Herald – and then along comes this very
valuable piece on research in immunotherapy at Fred Hutch. Maybe I made a mistake. Naw, not likely.
Anyway, you really should read this. It will do you good.
My thought is that if this had come along ten years ago I
might still have Linda here, probably to
suggest that I get off my duff and do something in the yard.
Here is some background material. The author is Ron Judd, staff writer for the Seattle Times. He writes well.

Linda’s sister Carolyn Joyce alerted me to this very valuable explanation of how cancer immunotherapy works. Read it.
