      My husband–73, diagnosed Stage IV in January with brain, lung and liver mets–and treated with CyberKnife and Nivo–just had his three-month follow up PET-CT scan, and the lung and liver mets are gone.  Gone!  Still working on one pesky brain met.  We left the doctor's office so happy, of course, and also SO GRATEFUL TO THE RATTIES who helped bring these drugs to those who need them.  I know that includes many on this board.  We know the road ahead is still so uncertain, but tonight we're popping a champagne cork and saying a thank you.  V.

                Ed, after reading so many of your posts, if you're a mouse, you're a mighty one. (Am I the only one old enough to remember Mighty Mouse?)
