Day 4

Today was the day of itchiness.  One of the side effects of Interluken 2 is the effect on the skin which makes it feel sunburned and very, very itchy. He looks like he's been out on the beach all day -- and is now dealing with the after effects.  Despite several oral medications, including Benadryl, and lots of lotion -- the itchiness persists.  The itchiness is primarily on his trunk and makes it really hard for
Kerry to sleep.

He's now had 10 out of 14 doses. Only one more day of treatment to go -- then they will keep him in the hospital for an additional day or 2 until the effects of the treatment subside some.
