Kelly, is Ella still taking prednisone?
Ken developed a rash following his first ATG. His hem/onc suggested he increase the prednisone to help control it, but we didn't want to do that because he was having so many nasty side effects to it. We saw the dermatologist for a second opinion, and he told us it was more likely caused by the prednisone! Sure enough, as soon as he tapered off it, the rash went away. Just goes to show how hard it can be to interpret cause and effect relationships.
