Checked in to the Vandy Resort & Spa

Well, maybe not quite a resort or spa, but so far everybody's been very friendly and helpful, and there's a refrigerator in our room with unlimited jello, ice water and saltine crackers. Woo hoo! We spent all day getting lab work, doctor's visit, radiology for a PICC line, and waiting in admitting, finally getting to our room at 2pm to find out the first dose of IL2 will start at 10pm tonight. The doctor painted a rather bleak picture of the side effects, mostly what we had already read about, but added that my main responsibility is to pay attention to Bobby's mental state. Apparently, IL2 can also cause confusion & hallucinations. I successfully resisted the urge to make a clever remark at that point. We are really ready to get things going. More tomorrow...

Sounds like you are having "fun". Looking forward to hearing how Bobby's first treatment went last night. We're really flooding Heaven with our prayers.
Love, Aunt Marge
