      Hi everyone.

      Just got the news today: The PET/CT scans revealed that my wife is still NED – 1 year since we were told that Ipilimumab had worked so well. For those of you who cannot remember my wife, please click on my profile/my earlier posts to read more about our story. The battle has been going on for 5½ years now, but for the first time, we do dare dream of a future and freedom, without this ugly disease playing such a huge part.

      I hope so many of you will still keep faith. Stay positive, because believing is half the way to freedom.

          Congrats…so happy for you both.

          Did your wife have any long term side effects from IPI, that she is still living with today?
