10-24-13
Last Monday, 10-21, I received a shot to begin the restoration of my very low testosterone due to MM, the treatment of MM, and to my advanced age. The intent and my hope is that monthly shots will reduce my extreme fatigue, not so much, however, to allow vacuuming.
This evening I will begin a new treatment regimen of two weeks on, two weeks off. I will not be taking the steroid hit, and the revlimid dosage will be 40% less. Those changes may also help with the fatigue.
My feet problem continues.
After this two week regimen I will meet with Dr. Abonour. You may note that I have changed Doctors which could indicate dissatisfaction with Dr. Milton. Not so.
Mary Ann and I are very pleased with Dr. Milton, with Tammy Linback, Nursing Manager, and the others at HOI. We should be, they got me to remission. We would recommend them without reservation.
We changed to Dr. Abonour, who devotes 100% of his time to MM, and to get into the IU Health System. We believe that is best for us at this juncture.
In other words, change for positives, not from negatives.
I will after a few days in the new regimen return to the blog. In the interim, we are not bemoaning the presence of MM, we are enjoying the success to date of the treatment. We have known all along MM is not curable, but treatable.
