It is, indeed, the immuno-restorative shot.
They call it the "Hulk" shot because it is alleged that, after getting it, patients often actually "feel" their bone marrow growing back inside the bone casings. Apparently, the marrow retreats from the chemo/radiation shock, and pauses in its manufacture of vital life-preserving 'stuff.' The "Hulk" shot stimulates the marrow to rejoin the fight.
My Lila's having a bad day today, with a lot of pain. She says she cannot sleep properly. We talked for 4 minutes and 25 seconds (I'm not complaining!), until the discomfort overwhelmed her. I could hear it in her voice, weariness and pain...My own poor heart lies in sherds at my feet...
