Thanks everyone!  She is Goldsboro, about an hr south of Raleigh.  I'll give her these docs/locations. She's willing to travel for a good doc.

Again, thanks!

Thank you KatyWI and LBN.  I was interested in hearing from those who have had this treatment.  I know it is not the newest treatment, but it is a treatment that is still used by many.  Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts. 

I wish you both the best of health and success in your journey's.

Thanks Debbie!  I am on my way to my Dr.'s visit to discuss treatment.  I have my list of questions from my research and the information I received from those on this site – thanks everyone.

It is fantastic to hear from a responder of IL-2.  I know the percentage is low for responders, but I know there are folks out there so thanks for posting.  I will email you soon. 

Thanks so much and good health to all!

Thanks Jim.  This is the trial I found on the website for MD Anderson – Houston.  The criteria for this trial is tumors must be at least 1 cm.  Mine are all under 1 cm.  According to this criteria, I don't qualify.  I am going to ask my doc about it, but I don't think I can get on this one.

Thanks Jim in Denver for your response.  I definately conducting my own research on this site as well as elsewhere and seeking second opinions. I posted on this site about IL-2 to get information from those who have gone through it as well as just information in general.  I appreciate all the feedback that I have received so far. 

I looked into the trials at MD Anderson in Houston and they have 2 protocols.  One you have to have failed another treatment to qualify and the other your tumor must be at least 1 cm.  My tumors are all under this size.  I'll still discuss this with my doc, but it seems that at this point I am not eligible for either at this location.  I'll research and see if there are any others that I may qualify for.  

I'm familiar with both the GSK trial and the Roche. Thanks for the information and the encouragement!  I wish you success with your current treatment.

Wow, Vera, we have a lot in common.  I also have Patrick Donovan as my primary oncologist and see Dr. Hersh down in Tucson.  I'll email you and we can chat.
