About a year and a half ago I had a very low moment in a Publix Supermarket. I had finished the complete course of treatment with ipi. At the follow-up scans we discovered that I had not responded and my mets had grown larger. A few weeks later I was at the deli counter in Publix next to a young man who reminded me of my son: about the same age, similar height, same beginnings of male-pattern-baldness. He was holding an infant a few months old. It struck me that I may not live to see granchildren.

This afternoon, my daughter-in-law delivered a 7 pound, 5 ounce grandson who I expect to see graduate from high school. Thank you researchers, BMS, Moffitt, all my doctors, nurses & techs, and of course my newly-expanded family. And all of you. Dan
