Today was occupational therapy and follow-up with the hematologist. OT went well. The right arm is still weak, but testing was positive. They grade on a 1-5 scale, 5 being "normal" strength, being able to resist pressure. All tests came back at least 4, so I only have one more OT session, then continue to do home therapy twice a day!
The follow-up with the hematologist was mostly positive too. The results from the biopsy didn't show anything that would give us definite answers. The thought right now is that there was a lesion at T12, but the steroids may have treated the lesion, and that's why nothing showed up. The plan right now is no additional treatments of any kind, follow up with an MRI in 2 1/2 weeks along with more blood work, and see what shows up then. I'll be tested quite regularly for awhile, but I'll gladly go through periodic testing rather than having to deal with treatments.
I've got a break now from doctors and treatments, so I'm going to start living a more normal life, meaning I probably won't post much during that period. I'm sure no one wants to hear me talk about work everyday!
