The lottery of life.

Unusually, we bought a lottery ticket at the weekend. Not one of our numbers came up. But all the numbers which matter came up yesterday when Quent's scan was clear.

Sadly our friend Philip (IL-2 friend) has not had such great news. His cancer has returned and he is having a couple of courses of Sutent, to try to shrink the tumour before surgery. He gets his results in November and we have everything crossed for him.

Meanwhile, Prof Hawkins is publishing his IL-2 research later this month. We will let you know when. Not that we think he will need the coverage our little blog can give him - we anticipate his results will hit the headlines in more esteemed publications. Still, PR is a lottery, as they say, so we'll do all we can to spread the word.
