Day in the Life - Steroids
Hugo encounters many different side effects from both the leukaemia and the medication he takes for it, but on a day to day basis, steroids are definitely the cause of the most challenging (which is why they get a blog all to themselves!). He takes a 5 day course every 4 weeks, alongside the IV chemotherapy (together they are referred to as 'pulses'). The effects differ slightly each time and we never know quite what we are going to get from month to month. Some months they seem to hit harder and others we feel we have gotten off lightly.
Bumps in the Road
We are plodding along.
What seemed so strange and scary at the beginning has somehow become normal. There is a new standard to measure by and everything is fine, by this new standard, good even. Until it isn't. Until there is a bump in the road.
