This just in

Nothing in the brain. New subcutaneous lesions scattered about. The tumor in the back is not connected to structures. Liver and bone tumors stable. We will do the last course of IL2. It will likely not be the magic bullet and get me disease free as per the Dr. We will most likely do IPI (yervoy) next and hope the IL2 will help us get a good response with that drug. Could have been much worse. Could Be better. I so hoped the Il2 was it. I think it was my best chance for long term response. We are grateful it has had some effect. Thanks for all the prayers today, we are doing just fine.

    You're in our prayers. But I wish I had something more to say than that. Just know you're in our prayers. And if you are having a bad day, here are a few funny videos to watch. They will make you happy:
