      Hi all, Just receivd the most wonderful news. After 4 infusions of IPI, my latest scan indicates no further evidence of disease. Cannot believe it as there were three large tumours that had re-appeared after my last op in Nov 2016 so the IPI worked.

      I really must thank you all for the inspiration I got through all your posts even though I did not contribute much by way of posting. Wishing all you soldiers well in the fight against this dreaded disease. Wally

                      Thank you all for your wonderful wishes. The choices I made and inspiration I received during this journey were all due to the advice passed on by you guys. It worked and THANK YOU. Love to all. I stay in South Africa and am now looking forward to a 3 month visit to my son and his family in Australia.
