    If Ipi treatments are successful whats the best one can expect for it to last? I have just finished my last of four infusions.

      Hi Tom,

      Congrats on finishing your Ipi infusions.  I had 5 Ipi infusions total (one was considered a 'maintenance dose'), each at 10 MG/KG dose as it was a trial.  Started seeing good results in Nov 2008 and eventually have had no evidence of disease ever since. 

      Here's hoping it works for you!
