Dr Kohli visit

Yesterday Joe saw Dr Kohli after his central line wsa changed. Dr Kohli was pleased with how good Joe looks and went over his blood work with him. Joe is Anemic and will be starting some medicine to correct that today. Dr Kohli and Dr Amato are determinining which medicine, Procrit or Aranesp to put him on.

Right now Joe is at the hospital having an ultrasound on his legs. Dr Kohli was concerned about the fluid retention and wanted to rule out blood clots in the legs. The IL-2 has a side effect of fluid retention, but it's best to be safe than sorry (as my mother always says!)

We're thinking good thoughts about his legs that there's no blood clots and with only 2 more doses of IL-2 this cycle, Joe should be feeling better and better as the next weeks come to pass!
