          Congratulations on getting through round 1. I did a biochemo w IL2, interferon and Temodar. It was tough going, but I got the job done, and you will too. Treat yourself well between rounds and really focus on getting enough calories and a little exercise if you can. I lost 10 lbs or so and a fair amount of muscle mass. Protein shakes are a good choice. Keep up the good work!

                      Congrats. I just finished my interferon treatment and that was bad enough. I hear the bio/chem can be pretty rough.  I pray you have a quick recovery and that the treatment does the job.ch
