Day 10 of interleukin 2 treatments

October 29, 2014

It's been 5 days since Kevin's 9th and final dose of IL-2, for this round at least.  He has another round to go, then scans to see if it's working.

He is feeling about the same, a tiny bit better.  It seems he get's a little more energy everyday.  He went out shopping with me and walked quite a bit today.  Then he slept for 2 hours, lol.  But that seems to be the way it goes.  Tomorrow I bet he'll be extra tired from today's gallivanting.

Yesterday he developed a sinus drip, which is another common side effect.  He's still wheezing at night, I tried cleaning all the dust and dog hair to see if it would help, but it didn't.  Kevin used to have allergies and asthma as a child, so I thought perhaps the histamines in his body where super loaded like his white blood cells.  And therefore, they are making him have a sinus drip and a little wheeze.  He's waiting a call back from his doctor to see if he could possibly take an anti-histamine.

Not much more to write, which is good news  :)  Thanks for reading
