      Monday I go in for IL-2. I just wish I knew what to expect, but I think I am well prepared thanks to this place.

      I had a PET scan and an MRI last Wednesday, so we have current scans, too.

      I guess I’m ready!!

                                    First week in is usually a blur.  Drink lots and lots.  Be sure to let the nurse know AS SOON AS you start to feel chilled during/after a bag and they can help you avoid the rigors.  As Jimmy said, MOST IMPORTANT, listen to your body. Once you are back home you will start to feel pretty good after about 2 days.  Good luck and post when you can.  We will be rooting for you!
