A reprieve

The core biopsy I had last week showed that my cancers are of a type that is susceptible to immunotherapy. My oncologist has recommended a drug which should cure me -- no certainty of course.  The cure will be a rather long road requiring at least 4 months so no early results can be expected.  There is however now hope that I could be back to my old form until something else gets me -- JR

That is certainly good news, John. Please G-d the treatment will be successful!

All Best,

They're doing amazing things with immunotherapy these days. I'm on a monoclonal antibody that targets myeloma cancer cells. It's not a silver bullet, but the drugs I'm on have kept it from killing me over the past couple of years.
