Antigua, we have take off

The summary of our meeting with Dr Savage was that:

• Quent's last x-ray was written up as "no significant change"
• The largest spot on today's x-ray seems to have grown by another millimetre, so again no need for immediate action
• He will chase his colleague in the USA

It is great news that Quent's spots are growing slowly although each millimetre is still another notch towards treatment. Dr Savage thinks at this stage that we might start treatment late summer or during the autumn. The autumn would be great, as that would be almost a year after Quent's diagnosis / nephrectomy.

Dr Savage did say that although the definition of complete response (Interleuken 2) is 4 weeks with no disease, in reality it is significantly longer and sometimes forever. Therefore we won't completely rule out US treatment at this stage.

The next appointment is 10th July, unless Quent develops symptoms or we hear back from the USA before then.

Antigua here we come!
