    il-2 OP

    I've heard of it in the past. Since il-2 is so toxic, it is at a very low dose when done at home. The regular dosing needs to be in intensive care type setting. If you are going to do it, do it as an in patient. Mean treatment but worth the shot. I got 18 months of no other treatment after Il-2
