PLAN B

Terry met with the multiple myeloma specialist yesterday. He gave us quite a bit of hope for the immediate and long term future. He is recommending that she go back to the heavy duty chemo regimen that she had been on prior to her recent hospitalization. She will be on that for 6 weeks after which she will be weaned down or off of most chemo meeds over the period of about 6-8 months. She will have to stay on one or another chemo agents and a steroid, probably forever. If or when her disease starts to rear its ugly head again, then the medications would have to be reintroduced again. He seems to think that Terry may get some longevity doing this way. Let's hope she can.
In the meantime some good news is that he wants her to start her immunizations. She lost all immunity against things like polio, tetanus, diphtheria, etc. when she had her first transplant. Once she is properly immunized and if her health allows it, then we can start our international travels again. The important thing is getting her cancer in tow and we are praying for that daily.
Thanks for all of your support.
