I think that's where I really like this tpe. The next part of my journey is because we're starting to see how cleaning out patients with plasma exchange is really helping their inflammation. And if I may share my story, so I've had tpe, I've had three treatments and prior to my three treatments I used to break out in hives all the time no matter what I ate. And I lived on steroids and I lived on antihistamines and since I've had my three TPEs, I haven't had that problem. So I just know that cleaning out the toxins has been a huge benefit for me. So just hearing how their quality of life has improved, I think that's huge. That makes a huge difference and I think that's what in medicine, that's what we want to do, is make that difference in a patient improve their quality of life and then however we figure out how to do it, I think that's incredible.
