Cycle 1, 2nd Dose, Days 5 of My CLL Trial: Sleep, Sweet Nature’s Balm

In science and medicine, information is constantly changing and may become out-of-date as new data emerge. All articles and interviews are informational only, should never be considered medical advice, and should never be acted on without review with your health care team.

There’s not much to report because I essentially napped all day.

I spent most of my day today off steroids, crawling in and out of bed to sleep. The best term to describe my status was that I crashed. Coming off steroids does that to me. And many others.

Though I was up for an hour here and there during the day for meetings and work, I didn’t really get up to stay until 7 p.m. when I pushed myself to take a garden walk before dark.

Hopefully, my diurnal rhythm will get back in line tomorrow, at least until I get the steroid kick again in 3 days. OUCH!

There’s lots of work and overdue self-care on tap for tomorrow.

It’s all worth it for the results I anticipate in my epcoritamab trial for my relapsing chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

Stay strong. We are all in this together.
