Abdullah is NED

The ANBL 032 trial is a randomized trial. Even if we opted for it, we may just be part of the control group. We therefore declined the trial, as it had many side effects too, another 6 months @ hospital and no conclusive evidence of any benifit to the patient.

The last set of tests conducted on Abdullah showed that he has no evidence of disease (NED). The oncologists claim that this is the best possible situation he can be in. They wouldn't say he is in remission, but just that he has ~ 50% probability of being cured from this dreadful disease now.

He will be going in for MIBG and Echo testing end of September.
