My IL-2 treatments started in August and was scheduled to be 4 cycles one week a month from Aug. through November. Friday Oct. 15th my doctor in Atlanta called and informed that my scans show that the cancer mass in my back has grown since August so the treatment is not working. I am grateful that there isn't any cancer in my lungs or any new areas. I will see Dr. Negrea (my Savannah oncologist) on Thursday Oct. 18th and he along with Dr. Lawson in Atlanta are working to find me another treatment. There is one that consists of a series of IV injections in Charleston, SC. Charleston is closer that Atlanta so I am excited about that. I will post an update Thursday after my appointment. I am so thankful to have options to keep up the fight. Thank you all for your support.
Love,
Verlonna
