EUREKA

Waiting, waiting, waiting is so hard.  When I got home from school--still no Bob.  Finally I decided to go online and low and behold an email from Bob at 2:00 saying the doc was 2 1/2 hours behind.  That made the waiting easier.

Bob arrived very upbeat and happy so we took our coupon and celebrated with dinner at McDs.  Classy or what!!!!

The scans show "complete metabolic response to chemotherapy.  The bone lesions remain quiescent. There is no evidence of metabolically active disease at this rime."  The time is March 7.
HGB---132,        Monoclonal #1--1.9     Kappa/Lambda Free Ratio-----.95


We were thinking that maybe Bob could go off the drugs for a few weeks however the doc says no way---3 more months then another PET scan to check it all out.


Fortunately Dr. Bahlis is lowering the dexamethazone in half.  From what we can tell that is the drug with the worse side effects that Bob has.  Altho I am so thankful that even these side effects aren't as bad as they could have been.  Some warriors  who become irritable actually are violent--hitting and yelling--I thank the Lord that he has cared for Bob in a much more gentle way while on this chemo.  Friday is the beginning of the new week of  3 weeks of chemo.  Revlamid and the lower dose of dex.  So onward  ho, continuing this journey, however so thrilled that the drugs are doing their job.


We are so thrilled that God answers prayers.  Thank you for yours.


Rejoice with us for this moment in time.
