Actually, things are going well here. Just thought I'd update you guys on my current progress with health, life, etc. Health wise, I'm doing fine. The leukemia is being held in check with a combination of steroids (immunosuppressants) and a drug called cyclophosphamide. I see the hematologist tomorrow to discuss where we go from here because I'm already basically done with the cyclophosphamide treatment b/c it could cause kidney damage etc, and the long term affects of the steroids are not good (osteoperosis (sp?), weight gain). In May I'm flying to Charlottesville to see the guy who first described this cancer, and will get better insight into how things are looking going forward. My dad (who still works in Pharma) is convinced that I need to go on a Jak inhibitor, and it'll be interesting to see what this guy says about that.
The brain tumor is still there, but it's fine. I get another MRI in may, and hopefully we can go to yearly scans after that.
The job thing is moving along. I'm finally applying for new positions (been at the current one 2+ years) and have a phone interview on Friday.
Also have a wedding to go to in early June, and I just picked up a pair of suits for interviews and the wedding, so hopefully the bride has some friends, and I can bang a couple of them.
End rant.
