Immunocine Cancer Center

In June 2023, I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. In early August, a cystoscopy was performed to remove the tumor and examine my bladder. It was then confirmed that I had stage 2 bladder cancer, and my oncologist advised bladder removal. I chose bladder preservation instead. My autumn was spent receiving radiation and chemotherapy, with fingers crossed.

On December 26, 2023, I was admitted to the hospital due to difficulty breathing, severe cramping, and generally feeling unwell. I was released in late January 2024 with a drain line coming out of my left lung to remove fluid. My cancer had spread from my bladder to my lung, where there was now a tumor in the pleura, as well as the tumor growing in my bladder again. I was diagnosed with very aggressive stage 4 bladder cancer and told to get my affairs in order. Depression set in.

A few weeks later, my fiancé and I were invited to a Super Bowl party, which I really didn’t care to attend (still not feeling very chipper). I hadn’t yet decided if I wanted to start intense chemotherapy in an effort to extend my life or not. We went, and I met a new friend who introduced me to Immunocine. I reached out to Immunocine the following day, and after some research, the application, video conferences, and acceptance, we were on a plane to Cancun.

From the moment we arrived in Mexico, the Immunocine staff treated us incredibly well. Their drivers took care of 100% of our transportation needs. The clinical staff, doctors, surgeons, oncologists—everyone—did a wonderful and caring job. Our Patient Concierge in Mexico was fantastic. She’s an American who’s lived in Cancun for a long time. We stayed at a Residence Inn near the beach and not too far from the clinic and hospital.

The treatment was relatively painless (at least for me), and I started recovering soon after it was complete.  Since the treatment ended and I returned to the US, they have been in contact with me regularly and continue to check on my progress.  In early June, feeling that my recovery was going well, we decided to proceed with an earlier planned 2-week vacation to the Isle of Man and Ireland.  I’m still not where I want to be but I’m exercising and staying active and am optimistic that I can get back to my normal 62-year-old self soon.

The most important thing I need to state about Immunocine is that, as of August 2024, I am 100% bladder cancer-free! I cannot thank them enough for their care, attention, and innovative treatment that cured me of bladder cancer!  These results have been given to me by my MD Anderson oncologist, twice, three months apart.

I recommend Immunocine cancer center to anyone who is serious about getting their immune system in the battle. The science is real and the medical team is wonderful. Immunocine has a culture of compassion and a passion for results.

I was diagnosed with advanced stage unclassified kidney cancer in the summer of 2020. Before coming to Immunocine, I had several surgeries and I experienced several reoccurrences. I was having success with conventional treatment is the states, but those treatments took a major toll on my body and ultimately lead to me experiencing severe internal bleeding. I knew I needed to find a treatment that would be less harmful to my body. My wholistic wellness team (worldview wellness) referred me to Immunocine in the summer of 2023.

Given the unclassified nature of my diagnosis, the thing that appealed to me most about Immunocine is the fact that the treatment is agnostic to the type that of cancer. The treatments train your immune system to recognize and attack your unique malignancy.

Seeking medical attention in a foreign country is certain to be a different experience than you are used to; but the Immunocine team took exceptional care of me while I was there. The team is committed to your success and they keep close contact with you after your treatment is complete.

Overall I am very pleased with the care and the results I experienced. I elected to take chemotherapy after Immunocine got my immune system in the fight, the results were outstanding. It took several months, but eventually my tumor markers went from over 1,500 to undetectable. My young family and I are grateful each and every day for the results I’ve been blessed with.

I am a stage 4 pancreatic cancer patient. My story offers a unique perspective, as I ended up not being treated. I was apprehensive and excited when I was accepted to the program. The plan was to perform a biopsy to collect dendritic cells, followed by electroporation of my pancreatic tumor. The science is solid and I was cautiously optimistic.
I have been undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, and more chemotherapy. I took a break between cycles to go to Immunocine in Cancun. The hospital wasn’t flashy like some I’ve been to, but efficient and clean. Dr Laura was assigned to me, and she stayed by my side the entire time. A friend came with me and we had a plan to bolt if anything felt wrong at any point.
Although I had just had bloodwork a few days before, they wanted to be cautious and check everything again. I was being prepped for surgery, when my platelets came back very low. They determined this unsafe to proceed. This is a common occurrence with my chemo, so we decided to wait and see if I could recover on my own. Dr Laura and a phlebotomist came to my hotel twice that week and tested my blood. I was soon good to go, and they were able to reschedule the procedure. So, I went back to the hospital and started again. Shortly after they started, I was woken from anesthesia and told that they could no longer see my tumor on a Ct scan, as it had continued to shrink, and they could not proceed. I’m writing this review especially for anyone who might question the ethics involved with immunocine. They refunded me most of the money I had paid upfront. They did not take advantage of me, but constantly showed extra caution and care. I can only say good things about my experience. I recommend them one hundred percent, and hope that others can benefit from the work that they are doing in Cancun.

When I 1st arrived at the Immunocine Center (6 weeks ago) I was extremely sick and weak. I had recently been diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer and it was progressing rapidly. I had heard such encouraging stories from people, especially a dear friend who went through the treatment herself, successfully. I wasn't sure if I was "too far gone" to receive help but my family convinced me to go. The 1st few weeks were tough - getting the tests done and waiting for the treatment to be made. The medical team were overwhelmingly supportive and encouraging and kept me physically and emotionally afloat during that 1st couple of weeks. I am now one day away from leaving Cancun and returning home. My pain has substantially decreased (almost no pain at all), my energy is back, my appetite is raging (I couldn't hardly look at food before), I am starting to swim (I was literally in a wheelchair to get around), many of the side effects of the cancer have subsided. Amazingly, my last bloodwork results just came back showing a drastic reduction in my cancer markers. It's been 6 weeks and I already feel like I'm getting my life back. I know that my healing process is a marathon race and not a sprint but I am beyond encouraged and filled with hope that I have a future awaiting me. I couldn't be more grateful to this medical team that stood by me every step of the way with kindness, gentleness, encouragement and never letting me lose hope. My family and I are forever grateful for your expertise and personalized care.
