No More Cytoxan!

Now that he is in remission Doug is finally off cytoxan. I hope the skin thinning gets better; his skin is so fragile and bruises so easily. Pomalyst is cut from 2 mg down to 1 mg, and the pred is cut from 50 mg to 20mg other day. A much better drug situation. He will stay on this maintenance schedule long term - as long as he tolerates it.
Too early to tell yet if he will have more energy.

Doug's glaucoma meds changed also. Now his eye pressure is 14 in both eyes; down from 18, a big improvement. We hope the optic nerve damage won't get worse.

Diabetes low carb diet is very tolerable. Cauliflower "mashed taters" tonight!

We have a trip to Nebraska coming up next week. Doug's mom will turn 103. Amazing very sweet woman. Doug's brother and wife will be there also. I am looking forward to visiting two cousins, two old friends and hopefully two grandsons.

Love to all.
