Doctor's visit update

No real change for now. The increase in prednisone is helping with the pain so we are continuing with it at the higher level for now. In the next visit,  the dosage will be modified and will continue to be tweaked for a long time.  The idea is to scale it back enough to manage symptoms while minimizing toxicity.  We may eventually go to an every other day regimen. Doctor says it could take up to a year to find the right mix.  Eosinophil levels are high but expected due to the chronic GVHD. All other blood counts are in the green.
