Sorry Jerry,

I read the year wrong. Silly me, you must think I am crazy. Glad to hear you did recover from your accident.

I have not been on the board much lately so I just learned of this sad news. Hope Jerry is doing much better. He has been such a big help to my husband and I with advice and kind words.

Praying for Jerry and his family.

My husband, Mike, has now done 2 rounds (4 weeks) of Il2. I was scared to death when we went for the first round and had made plans to be off work to be with him as long as needed. After the first night and second day at the hospital, he seemed to be having minimal side effects so I went home and returned to work the next day. Because the hospital was so far away we kept in touch by telephone and I visited once during the week and then went to spend the day with him while waiting for  his discharge. I was able to work knowing that he was in good hands (he is being treated at a wonderful hospital) and I would be notified if things went wrong. After that first week, I would go to the hospital  with Mike to have his pick line put in and be admitted and then spend the first day with him and go home in the evening,returning to visit during the week and then return to spend the day with him while waiting for his discharge. We were blessed that he took the IL-2 treatment so well so I don't think anyone can know ahead of time exactly what to do until you actually experience it. You will know what you need to do when the time comes. I do know that if things had not gone so well for him I would have been there in a heart beat. Everyone reacts differently.

I wish you the best for your husband's IL-2 treatment. It is not an easy thing to do watching someone you love go through it, but we can only hope and pray that it is doing its job and fighting the nasty cancer that has brought us all to this site.

My husband so far is responding well to IL-2 therapy. He did his first round in April and will be heading back for round two next Monday. His tumor in his lung shrung some 10% and his liver tumor is stable with no spreading of the cancer to anywhere. Our Dr. was very pleased with the results. Hoping for good news again. Il-2 for us seemed like a good place to start.

Mike tested negative for B-RAF so that is not an option for us. I have not heard too much about B-RAF treatments but this is the place to be to find informative information and support for you.

Wishing you the very best and keeping you both in our thoughts and prayers.
