Oh my… sounds like you are definitely in a catch 22. The prednisone can cause side effects which is why it normally is a medication only used short term. I wish I had some answers for you 🙏❤️

Thank you. I'm on predizone but it has caused my cancer to accelerate. My Rheumatologist wants me on another drug which my oncologist said would cause the lymphocytes to grew even more. I'm in a Catch 22. There are other horriblec side affects to the predizone.
