Every morning I know my prospects would be very differebt without your efforts. I feel in love with life and want to keep living. I owe you a lot!

I am being treated with Opdivo and feel very hopeful about my life expectancy. Your dedication, intelligence and boldness allowed you to make breakthroughs. I will never know you personally, but say a prayer of thanksgiving to you.
