I'm doing well. No surgery for these 3 fractures in my back..No need because there's no pain. Still working, would like to change jobs, but scared of changing insurance. How are you?

Hi! Kathy,
How are You : )
I survived my treatment of Cytoxan, no nausea, but dizziness. My CBC must of dropped on wed or thurs cause I felt pretty yucky. I am having a tough time with the high dose of Dex, 40mg 4 days on, 4 days off. Lack of sleep, my emotions are all over, hope I don't have to stay on it too long at least at that schedule. Its hard to maintain a consistent work schedule. Also I seem to be having a more difficult time with my feet and the neurothopy. Sorry for all the bad news. I am feeling well at this time, the 1st day on the Dex is not too bad. Well, I am going to try to catch a few winks before church , have a good day of rest.
