        Dian,

        Good luck with whatever you choose.  I was in a similar situation as you last year and I chose to go for HD IL-2.  I'm glad I did.

        I was diagnosed in 2007 and have been Stage IV since 2009.  My cancer started in my left leg, moved to the groin, then my chest, axillary nodes and eventually into my lungs.  By early last year I had 7 tumors in both lungs.  I have had several wide excisions, interferon, and radiation.

        I did three rounds (6 weeks of IL-2) in 2012.  It was difficult, but worth it.  After each round, I had a CT scan and each scan showed tumor shrinkage.  By the end of the year, there was minimal evidence of disease and my scan last week showed just the slightest hint of 2 nodules in my lungs.  I feel pretty optimistic at this point and am very glad I did the IL-2.  It's no picnic, but if you put your head down, you can grind it out.  I feel physically great now and have no lingering problems.

        Best wishes,
