Treatment Week 2, Day 2

My post will be short and sweet tonight. Today seems like the day that never wants to end. Nothing eventful happened (which is fine by both of us), but the seconds felt like minutes, and the minutes felt like hours, and the hours felt like days. We are both starting to succumb to exhaustion. Last night I wrote that we would take it one dose at a time. We were hopeful Chris would get the ten o'clock treatment. Now, I need to eat my words. I shouldn't have predicted the next dose! He didn't receive it. He spiked a fever, which we've all learned means, no treatment! Instead, he was able to get two doses of IL2 today! With each dose the side effects are the same, but the recovery time is becoming longer and longer. Mentally, Chris is amazing. Physically, his body is fighting very hard. There will not be an evening treatment. Dr. Pili was satisfied with Chris's performance today. We will see what the morning brings. We continue to keep the faith. We know that we can handle this...one dose at a time! Sweet dreams. xo, Teresa
