There was a change in chromosome 20 and this isn't that big of a deal. If chromosome 17 had been affected then we would have a lot more to worry about.
The cancer levels in his bone marrow is at 15-18%. If you remember after his transplant the cancer levels had gone to zero. So Steve is being referred to UCLA once again, and he will see the doctor who was in change of his SCT. Revlimid is no longer working as it did so a new regimen will be prescribed.
Steve told a few months ago something very surprising. He said if he had to have another stem cell transplant he would do it. This completely surprised me after watching him go through it the first time.
But then its like a women who forgets the pain of childbirth because its replaced with the joy she experiences in the relationship she has with her new baby. She doesn't think about the pain when she decides to have another baby. She thinks of the joy the new child will bring.
Steve's forgotten the "experience" of the transplant because it's been replaced with the experience of living well again.
We are stronger today then we were 5 years ago and I give God the glory for what he has done in and through us. But still, pray for us, please.
