Hi Lavinia,
Thanks for writing.
I wish you all the best for this battle and hope you come out victorious sooner than anticipated.
I read your story and it was very similar to ours.
We too had thought of getting embryo frozen but this would have already taken 3 weeks time. Some of our friends are doctors and we consulted them as well and they too said we do have time to wait for a while and get embryos frozen.
While we started the process as well , we noticed that the blood count has increased from 32000 to 40000 in 5 days.
With counts increasing and no 100% success of IVF ( considering the trauma we were in and the normal probability of IVF not being successful) we dropped the idea of the same.
The doctors we have consulted are optimistic that remission should be there in 1-1.5 years and post that we can also plan family normally as well instead of IVF . All I pray for now is that the life expectancy and quality of life remains same as was before.
These days my wife is getting plenty of painful pimples and that’s one visible side effect left of this medicine. She is also getting fatigue but lesser than before while the headache she used to complain often is now very rare.
Hope you are not getting much side effects of the medicine and I pray your body takes it just like any another pill.
all the best
thanks
