        Thanks Jimmy, that's an amazing video, to "meet" the principal researcher behind this immiune therapy. And really iinformative to hear what he's thinking about the current state of the art.

        For my part I'm at 10 months post-Gamma Knife (brain mets #2, 3, 4 and 5) and 8 months post-IPI cycle #4… the anti-CTLA4 blocker he championed through all kinds of obstacles (also per the 4/23 New Yorker mag article).

              I will have to watch this tomorrow when I have more time.  Pissed off I have cancer….but THANKFUL that Yervoy/IPI has worked the last 6 months for me, and hopefully will continue to do so for a lot longer!
