Somewhere upwards of 20 doctors just left the room, including the incredible Dr. Rosenberg. Dr. Yang, my attending, went over the process and what to expect from the cell transfer and the IL-2. This is it!!

The nurse last week suggested that I might want to put together a playlist to play as the cells infuse. So this is what I put together on Spotify (I just realized I should have included Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On."):

1. "Ride Of the Valkyrie," from "The Ring" — Richard Wagner

2. "Wrecking Ball" — Bruce Springsteen

3. "Rise" — David Guetta featuring Skylar Grey

4. "Standing On the Verge Of Getting It On" — Funkadelic

5. "It's Time" — Imagine Dragons

6. "I Saved the World Today" — Eurhythmics

I hope all my Christian friends have had a blessed Easter season, and my Jewish friends are enjoying their Passover celebrations. Happy Ishtar to those who celebrate that, and to those who follow faiths without a holiday this past weekend, or those who do not practice any particular faith, I hope your weekend was as wonderful as mine. This board has been a constant source of strength, information, and inspiration over the past few years.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life!

  Thanks for the update. Have been thinking about you and how the process is going. Is the worst over now?

    The chemo effects are all gone. Now for the next few days I'll be dealing with the effects of the IL-2.

  I don't know why, but I think you should add "Rawhide".

  Rock it out, buddy!! I did some musical musings before starting my trial! Here's that post from Nov 2010: http://chaoticallypreciselifeloveandmelanoma.blogspot.com/2010/11/musical-musings.html#comment-form
  
  So many more songs today! But Titianium (David Guetta/Sia) might fit your anthem as well!!
  
  May there be ever so many more songs on your play list in the many years to come!! Bang a gong!!! c

  Bill, I'm always looking for new 80s-90s tunes to use to wake-up my 8-year old daughter (she had just turned 4 at my Stage IV diagnosis). I Saved The World Today was a winner for back-to-school after spring break. I hope you enjoy it on these first days of the rest of your life as those super-charged cells work their magic.
