      Hi Liz,

      I am from California and I also am a stage IV warrior. In 2006 I was diagnosed with that stage. My doctor put me on Biochemotherapy with IL-2 for a total of 18 months. The treatment was very brutal, I have to be honest. In between hospitalizations I had to inject myself with Leukine and IL-2. The treatment totally took away my lung met without surgical intervention. I have been NED for almost 4 years now. There are success stories out here. I wish you the best of luck and if you cannot get that type of treatment maybe you can come to the U.S.

      Please keep us posted!
