When starting this blog my desire was to keep everyone updated on Steve's condition. Since his conditioned has improved after the transplant there is less to report. I suppose this is a good thing. He now sees the doctor every three months unless anything new comes up. His next appointment is in 10 days and we'll get the latest news on his m-spike. Something we must stay on top of.
Steve just finished his 5th cycle of revlimid. The only side effects he experiences are bothersome but not life altering. He gets very dry skin and he tires out at the end of the cycle. But life has returned to normal, at least a new normal. We did go to the ER a few weeks ago, due to a sudden, sharp, persistent pain in his chest. After many test, it was determined he had pneumonia (no other symptoms except the pain!). Not a good diagnosis but better then a blood clot in his lung (which I thought it was).
He's now recovering from a cold, which has traveled into his lungs. So you KNOW I'm keeping an eye on him. All in all we have much to be thankful for. Especially when we think of many we know who are persevering through cancer treatments or a chronic illness. Please pray for Tim, Hayden, Natalie, Rosemary, Julie, Ash, Haven, John and Howard.
Love, Deanna
