      So I ended up in hospital due to my stomach swelling, we thought this might be due to ippy but they gave me a ct scan and showes I have several new tumors probably 100% more than my ct scan 6 weeks ago, it's hard to no weather ippy has made tumors look bigger due to tcells going around Tumor or I just am not responding at all I still have anothe 2 ippy treatments to take. I'm really scared.

          Can they do a biopsy to see if this is t-cells or not? If they can I'd push for one.

              They aren't that keen in doing one as they said I will weaken my body even more by doing a biopsy, I sometimes wish I stayed in America they seem more pro active than scotland!! Saying that it might just be my oncologist that isn't that pro active.
