      I’m sorry I haven’t gotten back with the results of my talk about my biopsy results. It was in the middle of the website changing and I was having trouble getting on.

      My Dr was sure this spot in my lung was Mel. He pulled up my tests and was comparing them to the previous ones. I have had a spot behind my knee that couldn’t be removed. It has shown that it was decreasing in size for quite awhile. But now he was seeing that it is now showing less intense, which it had not done before.

      He thinks that maybe the 2 doses of IPI I have had have taught my immune system to recognize the Mel and fight it! He thinks I’m now fighting this beast on my own!! Now I read, yesterday, about exactly this happening with people who have had IPI.

      I go back for another CT scan Oct 11 and if the spot in my lung has grown, he’s taking it out to find out what it is and this whole story is out the window.

      I am so excited but yet not 100% sure I can trust any of this!!
