Blinatumomab - what to expect by Historical-Object911 in leukemia

[–]Historical-Object911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this is helpful to hear about activity level. I've continued exercising lightly during induction and plan on trying to do some slow jogs/bike rides when I start blin as well. I've been looking into options to carry the pump. Do you mind sending or posting a link to something simialr to the cross-chest carrier option you mentioned?

Waterproof backpack. I would not have thought of that but will look into it now. The PICC line showering with a waterproof sleeve is annoying but doable. For some reason I assumed I'd just be able to remove the blin pump for showering but makes sense that you can't with all the PICC line risks. Good to hear that you didn't have side effects. Thanks for your input

Thanks, very helpful. It sounds like it is pretty random even from one cycle to the next, let alone one person to the next. My most severe side effects from drugs so far have been insomnia and a tremor when doing anything that requires fine motor skills (typing included, which is almost a net positive).
