Multiple Myeloma

8-21-13

Last evening at dinner I finished the second 21 day treatment regimen of revlimid and related pills.  I have another lab test on Friday, possibly another infusion of zometa for bone density (I can't spell osteoporosis) and see Dr. Milton on Tuesday, 8-27.  I anticipate him ordering another 21 day regimen at the end of which they will take a biopsy to see the consequences of the three regimens.

So, for one week I will not be on meds.  I am anxious to see what effect that will have on my bearing, to see if I am less tired, less fuzzy headed, more normal, whatever that means.  I doubt it will get me back working in the yard, but it might cause me to want to, which Mary Ann will discourage (that is a euphemism for "don't be silly".)  I also am hopeful that there will be a way to temper the two-day down time after the one day up from the steroids.

I hope not to spend so much time watching my health that I won't be able to enjoy what I have.
