Hello – My husband had lung surgery Feb/11 and a craniotomy June/11 with WBR and targeted radiation to other brain lesions. His 4th (last) IPI infusion was Feb/12. This weeks scan results showed all body tumors and skin tumors have disappeared, the brain is also clear except for one lesion that they believe is responding to IPI and is showing signs of "exploding" and breaking apart. This is encouraging news, what a blessing!!!! The ipi treatment caused alot of edema in the brain but happy to report he is off all steroids now. He is now left with poor eyesight. We are seeing an eye doc today and another eye doc on Monday to see if they can help him. We don't know if this is the fallout of the brain radiation since one of the tumors was near the ocular nerve, or if the ipi has caused this. I am hoping they can help him, as he cannot work/drive with his vision impairment and is self employed. All this aside, we are overjoyed with the results!!!
Loving wife Lyndaloo
