Thursday evening is currently being spent in a relative calm. JayBee has completed 7 of the possible 14 IL-2 doses this second round of treatment. It appears the changes that were made in the drugs used to mediate some of the side effect have been worthwhile. There is still uncomfort, itching, cold/hot streaks, fevers etc. however much improved over the first time.

It has been quite busy and I wish I had more time to write down about what is going on day to day. Since the hospital food is basically not good for a vegetarian, I and JayBee's family have been cooking and bringing in meals during the day. I have woke up early to make breakfast and bring it in...sit at the hospital an hour or two then rush to work. After work I rush home and cook dinner to bring in the evening. This time, JayBee has been more awake and receptive to interaction, thus I have not been able to use that down time to blog.

The basic news is that JayBee is half way done and doing marginally better dealing with the side effects. Hopefully the situation will remain the same. Last time half way through, re-reading the blog I notice that the situation was certainly worse.

Otherwise we are happy spring is here and warm weather is pleasant to enjoy
