    I had my scans on Friday and the results are great.

    One small 1.3 mm lesion left out of 9 and it is almost immeasurable.  We are so excited can't wait to say NED.

    Just for those that don't know Gene he is on the clinical trial with Ipi at 10 mg/kg and GMCSF self shots 14 days on and 7 days off.  He has been receiving Ipi after the initial 4 doses every 12 weeks on the maintenance part of this trial.  He started it on Mar. 3, 2011.  After 4 surgeries he had an inoperable lesion on the head at the C1-2 level.  He also had 3 sub q's in the same area and it had metastisized to the liver and lungs as well.

    We are very pleased with these results and wish to share so we can give others hope.  You can check his profile for more information on his journey which started in Jan. 2008.
