We checked in at noon after splitting a BBQ sandwich at "The Hat". It was just right! About 5 hours of tests and setup to get started. IL-2 dose 1 went in at 3pm. I dozed a couple times while they did things to me. X-ray, ekg, change my PICC line dressing, start various IVs and pills, a lunch tray & more.
They say that the side effects will be progressive generally although some people have less reaction the 2nd time around but that's more rare. Usually they get the same side effects so I can expect weakness, nausea (they are giving me more for that this time), bloating, lack of endurance.
A couple people thought it was pretty funny how I emailed the doctor to get out a week from Saturday from my bed. The USC Wireless is a bit weak but it works with my netbook.
The avg. doses for the 2nd go round is 7. Cheri is betting 11 while I bet 9. If we come back in a couple months due to it working for the 2nd phase, it will be in a newer bigger building that they are moving to in 2 weeks.
We both have our gadgets going and ready for the long haul. And lots of dozing. I mostly use the mp3 player for entertainment although the tv was on a bunch last time also.
