Well, I’ve taken the plunge and gone for the non-combination option of treatment. Interestingly, my consultant felt it was the wisest choice, as did everyone else I spoke to. She’s very aware that any infection I pick up at the moment could prove fatal, whereas this option is rather more gentle. I start the treatment next Tuesday, preceded by masses of pre-meds and followed by further post-meds. Nasty reactions to the first injection are quite common, so I’ll need to stay in hospital afterwards, the first time, for six hours to ensure I seem okay. Happily, the injections will be given to me at home by a nurse, and they get progressively fewer as time goes by, provided they continue to work. It could be a tough couple of weeks, but hopefully, once they start to kick in, I should soon feel much better. Thank you all once again for the caring and prayerful support.
