Diabetes

I have CLL, I have AIHA and now I have steroid induced diabetes and I am fed up. I have been up most of the night having a Pity Party. Believe me, its a waste of time and doesn't make you feel any better to have these crying jags, but its not easy to turn off once it starts.

I saw a world class CLL expert on Wednesday to talk about joining the RFC +/- Lullilimub trial. However, due to the AIHA it is no longer available to me. I am relieved as I felt this to be such strong treatment.

Choices now are RFC if we can get funding for the Rituximab or Campath. I have used both of these treatments before and not really keen to get started again. On Monday I will have a chat with my consultant and decide. The decision has been a while coming, what with holidays, and other things and it will be good to make the decision and stick to it. Then maybe I will relax a little more. I would not like to be turned down for lack of funding, but trust that the 'universe is unfolding as it should'.
