The x-rays show a completely clear chest area Alison was worried about the breathing but there's nothing there at all, so it must just be the steroid-panting.

The bad bit is a massively enlarged liver (she's been at the vodka), which the drugs cause, but we don't know if it was enlarged before. Also it can be 'just' a side effect, which gradually disappears as the drugs wear off, or it can lead to a permanent problem. It's exactly like Cushings disease but is purely cause by the steroids and so should wear off with reduction of them.

We're now onto 5mg tablets of the steroids, She will have 2 every other day for 2 doses, then 1 every other day for 2 doses, then (hopefully) stop And fingers crossed the effects will start to subside.
She's also staying on the antibiotics, because she has no immunity it's a precaution I think.
So she can carry on getting better now

Oh that is good news Di I bet you feel like a great weight has been lifted off you.
Hopefully the side effects will go away in time and Minnie will be back to her old self

Thanks Loz
Yes and that's an understatement

I have just let out the biggest sigh of relief Di, you must be so very pleased with that result

And fingers crossed once the steroids are stopped the liver will return to normal as well and Minnie is back to her old self.

I am so happy for you all xxx

Great news Di.

I'm so happy for you all.




*Although I had a bit of a moment when the words Alison, enlarged liver and vodka jumped out at me!*

What a massive relief for you Di, so happy that you got good news!!!

Such good news Di - massive hugs for you all xxx
