Multiple Myeloma

10-15-13

Yesterday was the expected crash-from-steroid day with the usual symptoms.  It also was the day Mary Ann hauled me to the IU Simon Cancer Center to get a second opinion from Dr. Abonour.

We were very impressed, not only in general, but specifically by Dr. Abonour's thoughts about my continuing treatment, which he will share with Dr. Milton later this week. Dr. Abonour will in the interim evaluate many tests from the six capsules of blood they took yesterday, and share those with Dr. Milton.

I will finish a 21 day regimen with Dr. Milton this week and will see him next Tuesday.  We will then decide how we want to proceed.

At this point, Mary Ann and I are most pleased with the expectations given us by Dr. Abonour.  More on that later as we hear more.
