Greetings,
Thought I would send out one last missive before the onslaught of biological agents they have set up Here I am at BIDMC awaiting my 2nd IL-2 week and the biological cocktail they will have for me and will give me at 4PM.
Left the house this morning at 545AM only to arrive on time at the reception desk at 9AM. I128 and I93 were horrendous and it took as long to drive from Peabody to hospital as it did to drive from Maine to peabody...which was actually quicker.
Been prodded, poked, blood drawn, found to be a specimen of high quality, but unfortunately this is not a breeding program and before I know it the side effects are suppose to come on sooner, which means hey diddle diddle, the cats got the fiddle, but the dog's got ....well, it's a more messy story from here on.
My mentor said that I would peal, and that my face would look twenty years younger. My face didn't peal, but my feet did, so now I have feet that look twenty years younger that the rest of me. Can't see any advantage in that.
So, I may be out of touch for the rest of the week as I participate and do my part in receiving my treatments, and becoming a success story for my doctor. He's a nice guy and I'd like to do that for him. He indicated that while more treatments are expected down the road, probable, there are other agents that he is using that are milder and will support the initial attack on these Renal Cell Assassins. But to get there I have to be here. Anyway, I hope they are making the paper for the book they will write about my journey through the IL-2 treatment plan, with additional chapters devoted to my surprise CABG4 (pronounced cabbage 4).
And one last word,
thanks to all of you who have been reading my play by play through these health issues, and thank you for your caring thoughts and support. To know that I have some caring people, friends and family, out there having positive thoughts for me is very helpful.
My best to you all....Tim , aka Jack...........
