3rd Day of IL2 -CH 14.18
We are halfway through this crazy cycle. The ch 14.18 antibody only has about an hour left of this dose, then 10 hours of it tomorrow. We still have about 37 hours left of the IL-2… She has not had any major health issues or fevers so far. Her pain is managed for the most […]
Day 2 is almost over and she is Evil
For all those wanting an update… Pain has been manageable but she is NOT happy. In fact at this point I am questioning her being the spawn on Satan! She hates everyone and wants us all to go away…. Please September, get here faster! I hate Cancer! CIC momma

Photoshoot today!
Just wanted to give everyone a quick update. Jillian is continuing to improve everyday. She is still not back to 100% but at least she is eating and drinking and playing on her own. I am happy that her labs have remained stable throughout this whole 1st cycle and as it comes to a close […]
