Sorry I’ve been delinquent.  I’ve been working hard and very focused on getting the new school year off the ground.

Since the stem cell collection process, I’ve been on a lower RVD dose regimen … Revlimid on normal routine, Velcade once a week rather than twice a week, and Dexamethasone (steroid), once a week … gitturdun!!!   (Do you “Up north” people understand that word?)

My myeloma indicators were tested Monday, and my results will be available tomorrow.  Dr. G. and I are both eager to see which way they are moving … up again, or back down where we want them.

I had a good talk with Dr. G. about my future, my trust in the Lord etc.  He is Jewish, and nodded that he understood my position.  We talked about the reasons to keep living.  Although he is 65, he has 8 and 10 year children he must keep living and working for.  Insightful.

Everybody, please say a prayer for Dr. G.

Thanks
