Great news Tom . I can't think of anyone who deserves it more.

You surely bear testimony to persistence. I've just finished giving a pep talk to the wife of my business partner. She had Breast Cancer in 2013. Never stop making appointments to see your oncologist. Ever.

That's very interesting Bernie. In the days before my last review with my medical oncologist, Opdivo was in the news here in Australia. It had been accepted onto the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, which financially is a very big deal. My medical team should be warned that eventually I will test them. In this case Opdivo was the subject. Dr. Jain passed the test. Instead of dismissing my interest, he explained that at the three centres that he consults, he had trialled 50 patients with varying success over the past 12 months. Some were patients who had been given weeks but had gone on for 12 months on Opdivo. I'm a little skeptical of ibs and abs.For some they work spectacularly, others they are useless. it's the working out who will benefit is the hard part.
