      While researching Dave's next step for treatment, I came across this study for MDX-1105.  I'm wondering if anybody out there is on this trial….NCT00729664

      On a side note, Dave's vision improved (after being blind for a week after IL-2) but everything still looks "dark".  He's on 80mg of prednisone and was hoping to stop taking it after his vision returned to normal, but that doesn't seem to be the case yet.  He's still unable to drive.  Even if he does end up being a responder to IL-2, he probably won't do another course.  He goes for scans on 10/25 and  sees Dr. Khushalani on the 10/26 for his results.  Who knows, maybe if he had a good response we can keep it stable for awhile and at least get Dave through hunting season without having to do any treatment.  Of course, that depends on his vision improving as well.  Ugh…

      Best wishes to all,

      Maria

              Keeping Dave and his caregiver in my prayers always.  I pray his scans and results see a turn around in October.  Val xx
