Post-IL-2 Update

Hiho -

It's been  6 weeks since I finished the 6th and final IL-2 treatment.  The major side effects have resolved and  I'm feeling well.  I am starting back to work part-time next week.  Yesterday I had a PET/CT scan, which showed continued improvement, but not complete resolution of the active liver nodules.  There was nothing new or worsening.  While its possible the nodules would continue to improve on their own, my oncologist recommended  I talk to my radiation oncologist about treating the residual nodules with radiation.  I will see him next week and discuss the proposed zapping.  In other news, I have finished building a new front door.  Feel free to knock on it if you're in the neighborhood!  Thanks for your ongoing concern and support.

  3. So glad to get the update! And...congratulations?? on getting back to work. I imagine your house is as oddly quiet as ours with those boys off to college. Best wishes for continued improvement! and yes, bad nodules! Go away.

    At least your return to work coincides with the return of the rain...

  4. That comment above is actually from me. Celebrity forces me to conceal my identity at times. I'm sure you understand.
