Update on Interleukin 2 trial - decision to make on where to go from here

Well. Not so usual a Dana-Farber visit after all. Looks like I will remain on the Interleukin-2 trial for a  little longer because it is helping with the fibrosis.  After my next visit,  I will likely be put on a different trial involving the B cells versus the T cells now.  What I am experiencing is apparently very atypical. The  pain is likely be linked to constriction/impairment of the nerves due to an auto immune reaction similar to lupus or  rheumatic.  I don't have the arthritic symptoms but the pain is on lupus levels.  A new change was made to the oxycodone which should help for night time but have to gut through the day.
