Second Round of IL-2

We began round 2 of the il-2 on Monday. Clinic was very different that day. Jesse’s new CVL fully cooperated, and we had her labs drawn in no time.

Her ANC came back around 3000 and her other counts were great.

Tonight, she is starting to run a fever. So far it has been around 37.6 degrees Celsius (about 99.7 degrees Fahrenheit). We will be taking her temperature shortly to see if she is on the rise. If this is the case, the il-2 will be stopped and her lines cultured. The staff doesn’t really like to do this because the infusion is supposed to 96 hours continuous.

Currently her skin is looking red, and where I gave her the shots has become raised again. They look almost hive-like.

Hopefully we’ll not climb higher than 100, and be medically boring.
