Well, I have to admit what all of you know. I am a terrible blogger, I don't know why I don't sit down a couple times a week and write two or three sentences but I guess I think there is nothing to tell and something will happen that will make it worth while, don't know if I'll get any better, but I'd like to.
Anyway, we went to Coral Canyon on Thursday evening 9/30 and spent the night, got to see Bruce and Cara and Tyler. I started Round 3 of the Revlimid treatment Thursday night. Friday morning we got up and went to see Dr. Te. The news was good, but of course not as good as we wanted. The one set of numbers that Dr. Petersen from LDS Hospital was looking at was the IGA or IGM (I never can remember). After Round 1 it hadmade a significant drop to 2.9 and they want it to be around 1.0 to be almost normal. Well the number we have after Round 2 is 2.3 which is good, but it didn't drop as much as we'd hoped it would. Dr. Te explained it that the more there is, the easier for the medicine to get more of it, as the number drops, we'll make progress percentage wise, but the numbers won't drop as fast. This probably means that we'll have at least a Round 4 of Revlimid before we can think of going to Salt Lake.
Tomorrow night I'll do another round of Dex and see how it takes me through the week.
