I just sent Dr. O'Day an email  at the email above and he replied saying that he was now in excellent health and hat he  is feeling great. He has decided to leave The Angeles Clinic and hopes to be seeing patients again early in the new year probably somewhere in Santa Monica.

I was originally diagnosed with stage 4 about 8.5 years ago, with tumors in my liver, spine, liver and s;leen.  I went through biochemo and miraculously went into remission for a year, but had a maintenance program for a year of high dose interleuiin-2 once a month. After about a year in remission, I started to get tumors in my soft tissue in my groin and leg.  After about 4 or 5 surgeries to remove the tumors, over the next year, I had six tumors in my thigh and groin area appear.   I was one of the early ipi trial participants over 6 years ago.  I had 4 infusions 6.5 years ago and then another 4 two years later.  My side effects were primarily a rash on my abdomen and the back of my legs, and some fatique. 

4 of my tumors shrank fairly quickly, and then disappeared within a year but one started growing a year after my second infusion and had to be surgically removed.  My last tumor then disappeared shortly after my surgery, and I have had clear scans for the last 3.5 years. I have also not had any new tumors appear since I started the IPI trial.

IPI has saved my life !!!!
