Sad to hear droid, but something that we hear a lot of, in Victoria the stats are 30 people everyday succumb to cancer, the treatment I am having has been successful for me, after the gastrologist took a biopsy from the tumor the results came back negative but the drug only works on 30% of patients, so there is a long way to go to finding a cure across the board.

Finished my 2 years of treatment 34 sessions at $9000 per session for doses of Pembrolizumab courtesy of Merk & Co Inc, out of 11,000 participants in the trial one died approximately 1/2 were taken off the trial for being PD1 negative (no response to treatment) other received rashes causing them to leave the trial. Good news is because I performed so well I can go back on the drug FOC.
It must be so hard to come up with a treatment that not only suits everyone but each different type of cancer, I asked the oncologist where I stand and mentioned that the word cured is never heard when talking to them.The reply was the cancer has gone, or we could say it is in remission but there is no cure for cancer it will come back at some stage unless one dies of something else.
I asked why men are suddenly getting breast cancer the reply was, mainly in farmers and anyone else who keeps the mobile phone in their top pocket.
The patient who died on the trial died of collateral damage, apparently common when using a drug which fires up the immune system, not dying but the immune system will attack good cells when fired up.

This is one of those ****** threads, but it's stories that must be shared.
My thoughts for those that have lost and my happy joy joys for those on the right side.
Now, I'm not one to preach stuff, but below are a couple of links to docos that may give you some answers or reasoning.

Great news, WEAL!! Congrats. That'd be a looooong 2 years, hey? At least in the foreseeable future that's a fantastic result.
Hopefully you'll continue to annoy DBS & keep waving the Liberal flag for many, many, many years to come!
Out of interest, are you still brewing at the moment? I haven't seen many WAYB or WITG posts from you in the last year or so.

should be one t but I prefer it with two, I miss Tony.
Had 2 years off brewing not because of the treatment there was no side effects like there is with Chemo, may as well had carried on brewing with Garrett Oliver ringing me all hours of the day and night,'What do you think of this recipe, will these hops go well with this recipe'
