        Thank you Jubes, we are in Brisbane. I would definately look into treatment options in Sydney if it looks like we have exhausted all options here. I like the way your oncologist describes what happens when a million immune cells go in the fight a million cancer cells, I will definitely tell my dad this one :).

              Thanks for your reply Artie and great to hear that you had a mainly positive response to your treatment. My dad also started feeling better after a few doses of the treatment however I don't quite understand why they can't give him a scan now to see if the treatment is working instead of waiting until the end of the treatment but I suppose we will just have to wait and see.
