Brain Mri: Clear, thank goodness.
Ct Scan: definite shrinkage in neck and also stable disease. Lungs: about 4 nodules in each lung after 8 weeks of ALT. Darn!!!!!
So ALT worked on the neck and theres nothing else in the body or brain, just the lungs now. So 8 more weeks of ALT at a higher dose, Dr. Mo believes the trial people will okay it. I was the 1st person to do a 2nd 8 week treatment and I have shown progress in the past. I know this treatment and think I can handle it again.

Or high dose IL-2. He said we try it for a week, if I don't want to die then we do one more week. If I can't handle it or it doesn't do any good it won't exclude me from doing ALT. Or we look at B-raf? Trial should be opening up in the next few weeks here he said.
Really wasn't expecting these pesky lung nodules to be there. I was just hoping for stable disease. darn, darn, darn!!!!!!
