Metastases

"Lungs, bones, several other places."  It hasn't begun to hit me yet.  My friends are stunned by this--to me it's still a scientific puzzle.

I mean, I'm healthy.  I feel as well as you do.  What the fuck?!  Apparently they're small enough and diffuse enough so that they're not in my way.  I'm breathing okay, and haven't had any fractures.

My doctors are as shocked as I am.

We're talking about interleukin-2.  The doctor who will supervise that (not my primary oncologist, based at Kaiser Riverside) hasn't called yet.

More when I can begin to process this.
