Update

So after a new CT scan, and two stress tests this week my oncology team has decided to go ahead with the IL2 starting Tuesday.  That was the good news but we had bad news dropped on us too.  The CT scan did reveal that the radiation did shrink the big tumor that has been causing so much problems, I know that sounds like good news but the doctors found a new tumor in my bronchial tube that feeds the right lung, it was not noticed before because of where it was hiding and since the radiation was focused on the large tumor in my left lung I have had no treatment on the remaining tumors in both lungs.  The tumor in my right brochial tube, mind you this is the tube that feeds my right lung air, has grown so large that 80 percent of my right bronchial tube is covered.  My doctors said that if they can not reduce the tumor soon with IL2 and radiation this could be the end for me.  The result is I will be doing IL2 starting Tuesday and then as soon as I get out I will be doing radiation for a week or two, then go back to Il2 and continue this until they can get a head of the tumor and cause it to shrink if it does not work than I have some decisions to make.
