Combination of two immunotherapy drugs, showing positive results on patients with no treatments left and cancer spreading (not a false hope)

[bboby]

This is very interesting article to read.

At a cancer conference , MD Anderson Cancer Center scientists presented preliminary data from a new study showing the use of two drugs that release immune system brakes benefited some patients whose tumor had spread to another region and no longer responded to standard care. Currently, there is no treatment for such patients. Drugs are Yervoy and Opdivo.

Bob, I read your Bio as well as some of your postings. All I can say is you fought a very courageous fight. If there is a cure at the end of this tunnel that we're all in, it's because brothers like you gave us something to strive for. God Bless you with peace and love as you enter the final stages of your journey. I'm mentioning you in my prayers tonight as I do with many of the brothers I have gotten to know in this community.
