            Hi, just jumping in to ask another question about ipi, I'm sure I read on the clinical trials site that the expanded use trial had been rolled out in more countries than the USA, today when I look it's only in the USA.  Do you know if it is available elsewhere?  Specifically Europe?

            And if you don't mind me asking a staging question too, as I'm confused about my own status.  I know I'm stage 3 but what?  I had an unulcerated primary, 1.2 mm 14 years ago.  I had a local recurrence 10 years later, don't know about the size or whether it was ulcerated but it felt like a coffee bean.  I then went on to develop one macrometastastic node.. and that's the part that throws me, since macrometastatic nodes are only mentioned in the 3C staging.  Any ideas?
