Good evening,
A good saying for me lately ‘it never rains but it pours’ yesterday’s blood results shows my liver/autoimmune hepatitis has raged once again! I have been on steroids for nearly 6 weeks and they have been reduced every 5 days. I had finally got down to 1 a day which meant that if bloods were okay I would be able to restart immunotherapy next week! Instead I have been put on new meds (immunosuppressant) which can have nasty side effects as my wonderful, supportive CN told me yesterday to try and reduce the inflammation of my liver.
I wouldn’t mind this is the best I have felt in a very long time. I know I have a battle with being Stage 4 palliative but would just like a break … I can’t fault the care I’m receiving and the fact they are not worried about the cancer is good however I never expected my liver to be causing me problems.
Oh well tomorrow is another day, let’s see how I react to this new medication…

Oh Kate! Sorry you’re having such a tough time of it again. I really hope the new medication works it’s magic and you can restart your treatment soon. Take care xx
Hope the new treatment kicks in soon and then you can go back on immunotherapy. I had few problems with immunotherapy but it was a different story with the targeted drugs. Hopefully soon you can start treatment again and I hope your body gets used to it. Pleased you are feeling better and will be thinking about you.
Oh Kate you poor thing, you deserve a break hon so catch your breath again and let your liver heal then crack on with treatment. It certainly seems unfair that some sail through treatments whilst others have problems. Fingers crossed your liver heals quickly xxx
So far so good with the new medication x
I love that quote and I’m definitely going to pinch it x
