      I have been hearing about about a complete response and partial response to ipi. Does complete response mean remission and is it forever?

          Hello there!!! I had a complete response though not sure if it could be attributed 100% to ipi. I did a combo therapy. That bring said when I finished ipi and did scan 2 weeks later…doc felt I would be complete responder but I chose to move forward with IL-2. To answer your question…responder would be remission and I don't think there is enough data with ipi to say it's forever. Others will respond who are much more knowledgable. Though I hope it's forever…good news for responders! Let's just wipe out this disease!! All the best!!
