Got results back today

This is Charli with my DGM I just thought I would share... we are blessed to have 5 generations in our family.
I talked to my Dr. today, in order to go on Cytoxan http://www.medicinenet.com/cyclophosphamide/article.htm I have to go back up to 30 mgs of Predisone, I have been on Predisone for 19 years and was just told it was very hard on my body so I don't think that's a smart thing to triple it! I talked to my husband and daughter and Gina has same feelings I do, if I do this the side effects are too rough, weight gain, moodiness, hair loss And I have to have blood work and see the Dr each month and take antibiotics 3 times a week to prevent infections, to me it's not a real option. The Quality of life is so much more than Quantity, I am 48 and have a grand daughter I adore, I don't want to be too sick to take care of her or have her remember me as a fat witch! My Husband thinks I am being selfish, I don't think wanting Charli to have a happy Meme is selfish...
