After finishing Ipi in October, for the past 2 days, I've been itching like crazy! This was the one side effect I would get a few days after each infusion. I can definately handle it, but I'm also wondering if continued side effects months later means your immune system is kicking in, I have my 24 week scan on January 29th, so I'm hoping this itch means ipi is working it's magic.

Other than a nasty chest cold I've had for 3-4 days, I'm doing great. I have no pain anywhere and no headaches, etc from the gamma knife I had 7 weeks ago. Let's hope things continue to be good.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.
