Hello loop74,

It must be stressful to be having the treatment a long way from your family. Do you have any friends in Manchester who could be around for you and have a cup of tea maybe after the treatment?

We have some detailed information on Interleukin 2 and its side effects here. But as there's nothing like reading personal accounts, I thought I would just bump your thread in case we have other people on our forum who have had the IL-2 treatment and want to share their experience of it with you.

I hope it's useful to you!

Best wishes,

Hi Lucie,

Thank you. I have read the info, but as you say its good to hear from people who have had it! I do know a couple of people up there, but maybe not well enough to see me unwell in hospital, as I understand it I'll be an inpatient for a week, then home for a week & then back for another week, sounds gruelling, but I haven't had the consultation yet, so we'll see.

Hopefully someone can shed some light on it for me!
