Cycle 1 done

I've had the first cycle of my doses for this trial which was 4 visits to the hospital. One took hours and the others about 1 hour each. The shorter infusion seems to be giving me joint pain and maybe some weakness. Like having arthritis... I'm still doing my walks and doing some work but getting up and down is a bit shaky. I might be good enough for a marginal game of volleyball but we'll see.

As time goes on the IL-2 treatments in April-May will have those side-effects go away so maybe this current problem will fade some. On the other hand, cumulative effects could get worse. Cross your fingers!

The next cycle starts Aug. 2 with a long day: give blood/urine, wait for results, talk to the doctor and get a 2 hour infusion. Then back to the 3 visits over 21 days that are short visits.
