Saw my Opthalmologist today. He was very pleased and said I exceeded all his expectations, considering the mess he was confronted with on my first visits. I have either continued to improve or have stabilized. My vision is 20/25!
There is a young lady who underwent a surgery to remove a growth in her head, like mine. They then put her on massive doses of prednisone for growths in her orbits, which did nothing for her sight. The growths suffocated her optic nerves and she is blind. But, they also put her on a 6-7 month round of Cladribine and Interferon and the growths on her brain, heart and right (I think) arm broke up and disappeared.
I sent the info to my doc, and we shall see.

- I am a unic. NO!! Wait!! I mean, I'm unique. You can read about my "AFFLICTION" in my Blog. You can go to erdheim-chester,org and see the technical jargon. But, my particular disease is when histiocytes ( the good guys) become too abundant and lodge in the tissue of organs. They begin to attract lipid cells, which surround the organ like a hard cocoon and stop it. They also like long bones, such as the legs. Before Interferon, a person normally died of congestive heart failure within two years of the diseases onset. The cure remains unknown. I personally am determined to help my fellow "Club" members by educating more of the public about these diseases.
