        Yes, I did the one month of IV treatments then injections three times a week. I applied for disability when I stopped working and was approved with no issues. When I was diagnosed I started taking Lexapro and throughout the nine mo ths of treatment we had to increase it because I did get depressed. I don’t take it any longer. My side effects were fever and chills, fatigue, loss of appetite and my hair thinned so much I had to just shave it. It’s not an easy treatment, but I don’t regret it at all. I have the peace of mind knowing I did all I could to prevent it from coming back. At the time of my diagnosis my daughters were 9 months old and 3. So, that didn’t make it any easier. But, I turned it into a positive. I got to be a stay at home mom and I started a new journey when I was finished with my treatments. I had never finished my college degree so I returned to school. I graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Science with an Education Concentration on June 4th!! I plan on teaching high school English or History 🙂

              At the 9 month mark my body had enough. Each time I got an injection my body broke out in hives, so I had to stop. I made no changes to my diet other than I had no appetite. I made the decision to stop working about 2-3 months into it. I was just exhausted and didn’t want the added stress. Good luck to your husband and let me know if you have any other questions.
