Doctor's response - on Sunday afternoon

Hi,

So far your experience sounds par for the course. Hopefully, we can avoid constipation problems in the future.

You are experiencing to two separate affects of the treatment, one you can feel and one you can't. The sudden changes in the way your body feels (decreased pain and change in urine) are not anticancer affects but the anti-inflammatory affect of high dose steroids. It is normal for them to come and go with the RX.

The anticancer affects are much slower (multiple weeks to months) and you can't feel them...we will be able to measure them with labs when I see you.

Keep up the good work.
