We saw the oncologist about the test results and they were fine so they added an appointment for the same day to put a PICC line which is an IV with a line in the vein that goes near the heart. IVs are only supposed to stay in for 3 days but the PICC line can say much longer and lets them get the medicine in and take blood out without sticking me with new needles all the time. It took about 90 minutes and was just uncomfortable and not really painful.
I go in Sunday, 2/7/10, at noon and my first dose of IL-2 will be 3pm. From there it's 11pm, 7am & 3pm every day (if I can stand it).
I've got 3 of my best friends/relatives lined up to take some of the heat off Cheri for watching over me during work hours. Right now Cheri just wants Monday and Tuesday off to make 2 court appearances and our friend/neighbor Julia is going to take her place for that time.
