It is more like 30000 a dose. My daughters father in law, used it, and he lived about 2 months after his melenoma diagnosis. He is being buried tomorrow. He was lucky to have Insurance. He had turned 66. He had a lesion removed from his back 2 years ago. It came back with a vengence, invading his brain,lungs, bones. Luckily his brain did not interpret any pain. He died less than 48 hours after he was put on hospice, and had signed his DNR. He was the second person to use it at the University Hospital in Ciny. I do not believe it worked at all for him.
