Prednisone

One of the drugs I am on this first month of Induction is called prednisone. It is a steroid and helps the chemo do its job.

It has been in part responsible for my difficulty sleeping and crazy dreams.

Additional effects: swelling, rapid weight gain, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea and *my favorite* changes in the shape or location of body fat.

Thankfully, I only have to be on this for a couple more weeks. Until then - I'm looking more and more like an Oompa Loompa!
