first injection

Mark had his first injection of the vaccine this past Friday; however, nothing much to report...he said it just felt like a shot! He had to wait in the office for about 2 hours to make sure there wasn't any reaction and we are continuing to watch him at home for any rashes or anything out of the ordinary.

About a year or so ago, Mark noticed some veins that seem to have collected on his knee. They look like vericose veins but we're not sure and they don't seem to bother him. They are about the size of udon noodles and looking at pictures on the web, it looks like it is vericose veins. We had a friend recently have a complication relating to something similar, so now we're concerned about these veins. We're scheduling an appointment to have these looked at and all of our doctors have been alerted.

Coming up:

05/08/06 - MRI and meeting with Cloughsey
05/10/06 - 2nd injection of dendritic cell vaccine
05/24/06 - last injection of dendritic cell vaccine
