Day 13 of Interleukin 2 treatments

November 1, 2014

It's been 8 days since Kevin's 9th and final dose of IL-2.  His next round is November 10th, then he's scanned.  If there is improvement, he will have 2 more rounds at the beginning of January.

Everything is going as it has been, slowly recovering, but doing pretty good.  He's still fatigued and naps a lot, but he's really getting a bit better everyday.  One odd thing he has been saying is that food tastes bad.  He has to over season it to get any taste at all.  I think this is a common side effect.  I wonder if it could be that his mouth is still healing from the thrush and canker sores?

I think the idea of going for his next treatment on November 10th is weighing on his mind.  If he get's a second round, we may take 3 weeks in between.  We do have a choice, so that's nice.  But for now, we can't really change the next upcoming date.  We have 2 children, 14 and 11, and they need to have someone stay with them when we are at Duke.  A good friend of mine has taken off of work to stay with them and drive them to school.  So we really can't change this date.  Let's all pray that he will be ready to go and that this up coming week will bring major healing for him.

Thanks for reading  :)
