Scans looked good

Just back from the oncologists. My scans showed that the small tumors are gone or smaller and the two big tumors that were radiated are about half the size they were before IL-2. Although the radiation is a factor in shrinking these tumors, the oncologist feels like the IL-2 is working. Another indication that the IL-2 is working is that my thyroid is inflamed (being attacked by the immune system...a common side effect of the IL-2) and probably the reason that I have felt really tired and lethargic the last week or so.

So we made the decision to go ahead with the next two cycles of IL-2. I will begin the next round April 25th and the second cycle will begin on May 14th. I think I have folks pretty well lined up to care for me on the first cycle but will be looking for help in May as my kids will be pretty occupied with new babies.

Speaking of babies....none yet, although I think that Jon and Lori's baby should come this weekend. Becca is two days past her due date so we are wondering if both babies are plotting to come at the same time.
