Monty’s second checkup with the neurologist went very well today. After we reduced the Prednisone at the last checkup from 15mg to 10mg, we’re ecstatic to have gotten the go ahead to reduce this to just 5mg twice daily beginning today. This should be a huge step in his treatment since even at the previous reduced levels we were all having trouble dealing with the side effects. After his CBC came back in good shape he received another Cytosar treatment as planned, so he had a bit of a rough go for most of the day. This tends to make him uncomfortably warm and not very social but we are hopeful for what the next few weeks will bring while keeping cognizant that this does increase the possibility of a relapse.
Great news!
