      I had scans yesterday and they were clear.  I'm now 4 years NED after mets to brain, each lung and small intestine were surgically removed.  Brain met surgery was followed-up with SRS and I participated in a vaccine trial at the University of Virginia.  Otherwise, no treatments.  I'm feeling much better than when I was first diagnosed eight years ago.

                      In 2009 I was in a vaccine trail at the University of Virginia.  I don't know if it had a name other than MEL47.
