        I agree Jerry.  David's onc didn't think that he had time to start IPI, so he did carbo/taxol to reduce the tumor burden, then hopefully he can start IPI.

        I am so very glad for your husband's good scan results.  Hopefully IPI will continue to shrink the tumors, and he can join the NED ranks!
