Tomorrow, Gene goes for another maintenance dose of IPI/Yervoy (10mg/kg) with the GM-CSF injections that he does daily for two weeks on and 1 week off and then the 3rd of February will be more scans.

We are hoping that this will put him at NED (no evidence of disease) and he can finally stop the infustions. The first of March will be one year since he started on this clinical trial.

  Yervoy and GM-CSF appear to be a very promising combination. Hope that NED will be the result.
