      I go back to NIH next Tuesday for another visit after the TIL treatment with TBI which was done in mid-August.  My first visit held wonderful results for me at the end of September but I am dreading this one.  The first time around I had a tremendous amount of improvement…total volume (length x wides for each lesion tallied together = 62% .

      I still have the weight loss from TBI which is not surprising…currrently lost 30% and still not able to hold much down but that is not the worry.  I see an significant increase in visual growth…many many under the skin and grey plus several 'black' spots.  I'm very very worried.  Has anybody heard of increase like this …if anybody has thoughts on this I would be gratefully appreciative.  I have tried ipi (partial) now TIL…doesn't look like there is too much else out there.  Val
