Latest scan results
So I had two weeks of IL-2 in March and stability for several months. Finished another week of IL-2 on 8/3/2014 but the scan upon entering the hospital did show progression. Only got three doses during that week with creatinine of 5 and even 6. Yesterday (9/3/2014) I had another CT scan and another appt with the doc. My scans are done with just the Omnipaque--no IV contrast as my normal creatinine is 2.0. Doc's informal read of the scans show just a few mm growth in one nodule and the others completely unchanged. I was really expecting to go on to the next course of treament--probably Votrient--but I'm on drug holiday until the end of October when we scan again. So it's been a year since my nephrectomy and nine months since they found lung mets and I've no other treatments other than the three weeks of IL-2. Not NED or shrinkage, but I'll take it.

that after having Il-2, other drugs seem more effective. Don't quote me on that, but I'm sure that has been discussed in the past. One Putt, has mentioned it. I certainly believe it.
