Stelara round two

[Fred]

Update time:

Been to my dermatologist today, and we are staying with 90mg Stelara for another 3 months.

I'm still doing well on it, and although the last couple of days have been a little bit painful with the psoriatic arthritis the psoriasis has held where it was. I should point out that I'm on week 14 so two longer than normal so that and the damp we had yesterday and today could be the reason for a little pain.

Now that is the good news. But there is also some not so good news. Some members will have been following my other thread about the lump on my brain and my latest check up, and remembered I said that although they are still saying it's not cancer they were a bit concerned about the PET scan results that revealed some lumps on my Lymph nodes under my armpits that weren't there the last time. They didn't seem over concerned and I was going back in December once they had all spoken to see where we go from there.

Well I mentioned this to my dermatologist and she said she hadn't had the report yet, but wanted to feel for them. I explained that they couldn't feel them two weeks ago and they only showed up in the scan. She had a feel and said she could feel them.  

So she is now concerned and is sending me to another department to have it looked at in November, she is going to ask them to investigate as it may mean me having to come off the Bio's. We spoke and and I took up an hour of her time but she was happy with my request to have another three months on Stelara and wait and see what they say.

So for now it's continue and in three months time we will know more.
