Steve started his maintenance drug, Revlimid, on Wednesday night. By Friday night he was itching his head and then Saturday morning he woke up with the rash. This is what we were praying would not happen. It means he is having an allergic reaction. He stopped the drug and plans on calling the doctor on Monday. We are hoping that he will be able to start the Revlimid again but this time take it with Benadryl. As a reminder, his oncologist said he needs to take a maintenance drug and if it's not Revlimid it will be dexamethasone (which has it's own set of problems).
Keep us in prayer and don't forget Hayden, Haven and Tim, all fighting Leukemia.
