Video 1 - Transcription

I do have some remaining symptoms from my treatment. I get more frequent leg cramps, but they're not as bad as they were when I was on chemotherapy. I occasionally have some bone pain. That's kind of it though. So for me, I've been fortunate that there hasn't been a whole lot of lingering effects. I do need to get my heart checked out, I believe every five years. I do get mole checks every year just to check for skin cancer. That's also kind of just part of my genetics, but I think they suggest it after having leukemia as well.

So some of the symptoms that I had, definitely nausea, a lot of nausea. I was super tired. You're immunosuppressant, so you can't really leave your house unless it's to go to the hospital. I had a lot of different symptoms with the different chemotherapy. I had drop foot. Some of the therapy caused anaphylaxis. I had some bone pain and mouth sores. I dealt with water weight with the steroids that they give you and just mood swings like sweats, staying up at night, things like that.
