    They told me that the first chemo agent I would be getting, cyclophosphmide, was goiing to be rough, and they weren't kidding! Add to that 48 hours of having to get up to pee every 2 hours, and you have a recipe for being miserable.

    Today I'm feeling better and actually got out of bed. Staff here all tells me I'm doing a good job. So I soldier on in prepartion of getting my cells and the IL-2 that comes with them.

      Good luck, Bill.  Hang tough….the treatment will be over and with a little luck, you'll be marching from Mel land to NED-ville
