Steve's screening tests began yesterday. They did his bone scan and echo cardiogram and then today he had his bone marrow biopsy. We followed up in the afternoon with his local oncologist who told his M-spike was down to 1.4. Last month it was at 1.6. Apparently as we get lower and lower the differences are not as dramatic. As long as the number keeps going down and not up then we are happy!
It' s been a few stressful days as you can imagine. For me it's the reality of the whole thing sinking in. Not to mention we received a call from our local hospital regarding his biopsy slides from April. We took them with us to UCLA on our first visit up there and turned them over to the "specialist". They never sent them back and the pathology department at UCLA had no record of receiving them! Many frantic phone call were made by several people trying to locate the slides. We received the news that they were found just before Steve was put under for the new biopsy.
Please keep us in prayer. The days are very busy for many reasons and are becoming more stressful. We love you all and we will keep the updates coming.
