      So after the last two scans were done yesterday exactly 2 weeks apart, it has become apparent that we need to do something drastic. Hubby is going to start the high dose IL-2 and Aflibercept combo trial in about 10 days if all tests come back next week ok for stress test, etc.

      We have reached a crossroads where the disease progression is moving very fast and every day becomes more symtomatic and more painful.

      After failing multiple trials with initial response, then progression, we are going to try another but its one we we have not been wanting to do EVER….well, the IL2 pat of it. Of course we know the statistics of the IL2 and how miserable the treatment can be. Please pray he can get some relief from it after, even if only for a short time until something new comes our way.
