      On Tuesday we went to Detroit to receive Mike's scan results from his 1st series of IL-2. IT"S WORKING!! Tumor in lung has shrunk some 10% and tumor in liver is stable with no spread of cancer. Yeah!! Going back to hospital on July 11th for round #2. Wishing results could be faster but learning that patience is what is needed to fight this nasty cancer. Hoping for continued good news in the future and hoping Miike will be able to handle his 2nd round of IL-2 as well as he did his first.

                recovery is going well. They wee not able to get margins because the tumor was sitting on a nerve.  Radiation starts on Monday.  Fingers are crossed!   Thanks for asking Jan.

                  Between surgery, biochemo and radiation, radiation is a piece of cake !!! You'll do great.

                          Debby! I'm so glad to read your wonderful news. I was away last week and haven't caught up on the board yet, but you and mike have been on my mind a lot and I'm thrilled to find this post today.

                          I hope Mike recovers quickly and is able to hit that second round.

                          Great news.

                              That's certainly encouraging news! I hope that IL-2 will continue to be effective.
