      Hi everyone,

      Hi everyone,

       My recent scan two weeks ago came back negative!! Three years ago on 11/1 I had an LND to the right axillary and I've been NED since. I give thanks and praise to God. Miracles are happening every day. I thank so many of you for your guidance, knowledge and support. You are the wind beneath my wings. I thank my wonderful medical team, for their caring, expertise and passion to help others. I don't know where I'd be without my dear wife who loves me through the good times and the rough times. Our 2 children are such a special blessing and they keep me going. My prayers go out to all warriors, caregivers and loved ones.

       God Bless to all,

       Jim M.

              Dear Jim,  I always get so excited when I hear wonderful news. In particular this time, because of the guidance you gave me at an earlier stage.  While I believe ipi most likely had a strong impact on your NED, I just want to let you know that a young friend had an unknown primary near his neck over 10 years ago and he's still going strong, living and loving!! God bless you and yours….and here' s to forever NED.  Val xx (currently on compassionate ipi)

                  P.S. I meant surgery was on his neck…but the primary was unknown.
