Hi, My Husband just finished his 2nd round of IL2. First week he did 13 bags, 2nd week he did 11 bags then developed some heart arithymia, which is fine now. The water went away with Lasix. His skin did peel and we used "Aveeno" with oatmeal lotion, worked great but you have to keep doing it we found. His eyelids were sore but I kept up creaming them, my hubby just would look at me when he saw me coming towards him armed with the cream, he hates cream on his face etc. He is eating great, gained weight again. He really had no appetitie while he was getting the treatment for 5 days. We go on Thursday March3rd to see the Dr for blood work and a check up and then we will be given scripts to get pictures done. I am dreading it, so anxious. I pray that it looks better than after the 3mths of chemo he had. He is very quiet at the moment, I guess not knowing what to expect. We go to the John Thereur Cancer Center in Hackensack, NJ. Wonderful people there. They never found any moles or lesions etc, it was spotted accidently while getting a chest x-ray for a bronchitis that he had. I often wonder if he did not go for that x-ray, where would we be today?. This was in Jan 09, 2 lung surgeries later, we are still battling along with it. It is such an insidious disease, it completely turns your life upside down. He is 69 and retired after 45yrs as a Longshoreman, never smoked either. Who knows, only God does I guess.
