Whew! What a week of wonderful news! The Hematologist told us that there was no sign of cancer in John's bone marrow biopsy and the protein in his blood (that triggered her alarm) had disappeared! She feels that the respiratory virus he contracted at the end of June probably caused his episode of ITP. So...he will continue to decrease the dosages of prednisone over the next weeks and/or months and she will continue to monitor his health.
His strength has not returned to normal but the relief of receiving this news has had a very positive effect. Prednisone continues to interrupt our sleep patterns...but CBD oil before bedtime is helping.
John is optimistic about returning to his gym visits. Let's see what happens next week!
