      Thank you for responding, we find the information for regressed primaries very limited but even more frightening there is no guarantee that this is is absolute. We are told that all tests are not 100% and tumors too small to be detected by scans could be the size of a pecol eraser.

      Who could rest easy with this kind of news? Treatment? Interferon? Clinical vaccine trial? Choices to make on what if’s?
