      HI Everyone,

      Does anyone have the link to the NY Times article someon posted here a few days ago. I can't find it. Grrr.  

      I was on this site for many many years awhile back.  I could not have gotten through those tough times without it.  I am  a stage IV survior and I would like to say to each and everyone of you. what my doctor said to me many years agol

      Carole , don't pay attention to Statistics.  Noone can tell you how they arrived at them or how old they are.  

      Carole, just because someone else didn't  make it doesn't mean y9ou won't.  

      I left the hospital that day  and the first thing I heardon the radio was I BELIEVE I CAN FLY by R Kelly.  I Believe I can fly, I Believe I can touch the sky. I think about every night and day. I believe I can fly away  I believe I can soar , I believe I can soar right through that open door. I Believe I can fly.  

      NEVER EVER EVER GIVE UP HOPE. 

      Love and Light

      Carole

              I am not sure Ann but I think she might be looking for the article from a few weeks ago that was a positive article. The last article was more of a" scare people"article where they used an experts opinion to paint Immunotherapy in not such a great light. The problem with the expert from the article is that he is doing research in stem cells to try and get NK (natural killer cells) to attack cancer. William J Murphy is a professor of dermatology at UC Davis and they failed to state his obvious conflict of interest. Here is the article from a few weeks ago which has Dr. Allison from M.D. Anderson in it.
