Hello Becky
sounds like a rare disease you have, is this something hereditary. praying for a remission drug. The oncologist told me that I am at a incurable stage but doing different drugs to keep me going for as long as they work said that this will be what takes my life at some point so heck I just think of myself as the timex watch take a licking but keep on kickin! I do take sleep aides at night so I hope that the steroids don't keep me up all night.
Stay Healthy

Hi Cynde.. I like your “timex” analogy!! I was also told I was incurable, but that does not mean life is over. When told I was incurable the Dr told me, in the same breath, I had 6 month to a year, if I was lucky. Seven months later a PET scan came back cancer free, the Dr called me a miracle. No, I’m not “cured” nor will I ever be but I’m determined not to let this run my life or determine how or when my time is up. Hope you can sleep while taking the steroids, it’s a bugger. I had the same problem sleeping but my neighbors were very understanding when I was mowing their driveways at 2am, “Oh, never mind, it’s just that crazy neighbor on steroids”, LOL.. Never give up, your doing fine..
