Hoping Aboard the Treatment Train
By JB aka JayBee
On Monday of next week I will begin my first week long treatment of high dose Interleukin - 2. This procedure requires hospitalization for about seven days. You can read about interesting side effects if you follow the link to the drug above. It will not be an easy week, but I'll be a tough bird.
Dr. A. proscribed this regiment of treatment based on my March 5 CT Scan coupled with the pathology report from my February 12 skin tumor resections. According to Dr. A., the tumors in my lungs are growing at a rate that worry him; he hopes that I may be one of the lucky ones who will see my cancer react favorably to the "immune system storm" that this treatment regiment will cause in my body. I have to admit that although I am not looking forward to the discomfort of the side effects, I do look forward to seeing if this systemic storm can help me tend my body's garden.
I plan to bring my eeePC to the hospital with me. If I feel up to it I will write a bit about my experience. Since I am not into daytime television, I will have to try to make my own entertainment.
I have been continuing with the modified Gerson Therapy, and am considering learning more about the Gerson Clinic in Mexico. It might be interesting to spend a couple of weeks there, but I will have to update my passport if I am going to follow that route.
