      We have made another milestone in our lifes. Our son was married Sunday Lynn was best man and overall looked really well. He was tired but other than that fine.
      He says he feels really good. Some of the growths are scabbing over. How long does it take for them to disappear and how do u know if and when the ippi starts working. Doctor says process takes awhile guess I’m antsy.

          Have heard of various times to see positive response to Ippi.  2 weeks up to a full year. 

          "how do u know if and when the ippi starts working."  Jimmy B has posted counts that can help one get some idea as to this.  Of course the question of "Working" can have variious meaning.  It can be anything from slowing down growths, stabilkizing tumors sizes, reducing tumor sizes, to eliminating some, to elinimating all tumors, to providing a total long term remission..  

           Of course we all would like to reach the NED status, but working can vary so much individually.   Time will tell, Praying for a short time frame to a long term remission.
