In remission!!!- CHOP+R recovery - - how to proceed

SingleDad

Waaaaah - one week set back....doc did not like bumps and rash so is taking a swab before the last intrathecal..

Reasoning was that since I'm in remission and this is just prophylactic why risk getting an infection...

Damn rash is finally fading for the same reason it came around....none Rolling Eyes

Back on track to finish off the intrathecal and radiation....

Hair returning, weird sweat - feels thick which part of what caused the skin condition I think....problems with the sweat glands and hair follicles resetting as my taste buds finally did.

Getting back to normal energy patterns.

You bet - not sure what to do with the energy sometimes... Mr. Green

Client response to the news was heartening but confirmed my decision to keep the circle who knew my condition very closed until I got through it.

Now the attention is enjoyable and energy boosting - then it would have been a distraction I could ill afford.
