Rev and Dex are working. Not quite remission yet. Need to go on through my vacation. At least the last two days in Texas I won’t have to be on it. I feel really good except for the constipation. It clears up on my week off and I feel really good. I have my health and energy.
Rev and Dex are working. Constipated. Not in remission yet. Hoping for July. Going on Vacation in August - not wanting to be on it then.
Started Revlimid and Dex. The pill form is interesting to me. I only have to go to the hospital for blood tests once a week. Then Zometa once a month. And the doctor once every four weeks. Not bad.
Got results. In remission. Staying on Revlimid and Dex for two more months to make sure that it was not false positive reports. I had one of those in January. Don’t need that again. The only side effects are low fatigue and much constipation. Changed stool softners, hopefully that will help. Surprised the Onc as he says usually diahrrea is the major side effect. Oh well, one of a million again!
I went in to the Arthur G. James Hospital for an autologus stem cell transplant. 18 days later, I got out on July 3rd. I went into remission for 18 months.
Verteplasty surgery on the vertebrae in my neck. One was replaced with a dental type material. Then a plate was placed around it and screwed in to secure my spine. The surgery was done by Dr. Rey at the James Hospital. He was great!
The doctor informed me that I had Multiple Myeloma. What a shock! Now what do we do? We need to go through many tests to find out what the next step will be.
