Much better trend

The prednisone and gengraf are finally doing their job. Liver enzymes stopped skyrocketing up. Hope to see them trend down next week and for the first time in ages the red cells have held steady enough not to need the regular transfusion either. Happy with that. Doctor won't/can't make any predictions and often answers my questions with "well, you will be answering that one for us". Apart from the "wait and see" plan, the hope is to be able to start tapering off the prednisone soon and then .... the "wait and see" plan again. Another bone marrow biopsy is in the near future to give muscle to the "see" part.  Would really love to get back to work ... that's what I'm working towards.
