4.9. Back in remission.
I don’t take numbers lightly anymore. I’ve lived the back and forth. The climb, the drop, the “we’ve got it” followed by “not so fast.” Leukemia is not a straight line. It’s a fight for ground, sometimes inches at a time.
Yesterday, we took ground back.
A lot of people don’t understand what prednisone actually does in this fight. It’s not a gentle medication. It’s not something you casually take and move on from.
Prednisone is a hammer.
In leukemia, it works by killing off lymphocytes and suppressing the disease. It reduces the burden, weakens what’s trying to take over, and gives your body and the rest of your treatment a chance to regain control.
But it comes at a cost.
High doses flood your system. They can make your heart race, your mind spin, your body feel like it’s running a marathon while standing still. Sleep becomes optional. Appetite can go sideways. Emotionally, it can be a rollercoaster you didn’t sign up for.
And physically… the pain.
What I’ve been dealing with in my hips and femur wasn’t just discomfort. It was deep, structural, relentless pain. The kind that reminds you with every step that something is very wrong.
And now… it’s gone.
That alone feels like a miracle.
The prednisone held. It did exactly what it was supposed to do, even if it demanded everything in return.
So here I am.
4.9. In remission. Feeling good. Clear headed. Moving without pain.
Is the fight over? No. Anyone who has lived this knows better.
But today is a win. A real one.
My face is a little puffy from the prednisone. That will fade once I’m off of it.
And yes, those are scars on my nose and upper lip. They’re part of the story too.
