Sorry if this is too specific/personal, but I've been wondering, why does the treatment timeline include antibiotics (dalbavancin)? Does dalbavancin have any suspected antitumor effects, or was it simply to treat complications of surgery / catheter infections?

(edit: actually now that I checked the treatment timeline again it seems to be gone now. It was there 2 weeks ago!)

Chiming in from Sid’s care team, the Dalbavancin was used to treat an infection post surgery, thanks for asking!
