I haven't been feeling very well during the last month. I felt tired and sometimes nauseous to. The first time I mentioned that, the doctors couldn't find anything in my blood and they thought I felt this way because of the reduction of cortisone. They thought they reduced it too quickly so I had to start a higher dose again.
Two weeks later I didn't feel much better, and they saw in the blood results that my red blood cells were low. They told me I'd probably had some kind of infection, but they gave me some extra blood and thought it would be better soon.
Two weeks later (yesterday) I felt worse again and my red blood cells were even lower than before. They decided to give me two more bags of blood. My body reacted quite heavily to this and I started to shake and got fever. After I got better they let me go home at my own risk (you know I don't like to stay there at night). Today I had to come back for the second blood bag and some more tests because they finally decided that something wasn't right. It might be something viral. They also did a bone marrow punction, which was quite unpleasant, and an eye test. Since a few days there's a blind spot somewhere in my left eye. The ophtalmologist said it can happen when you're red blood cells are low, but usually it disappears.
So, the cancer is gone, but the recovery is still going on, and can take some more time... I have to go back to the hospital on friday. If they have some new results, I'll let you know!
