Dr. M's nurse navigator called. He says Doug is slowly headed into a relapse if we don't do something.
He wants to keep Doug on Pomalyst but add Cytoxan and prednisone back. This is the drug combo PCP he was put on in October 2015. It put him back into remission and Doug and went on Pomalyst MAINTENANCE (no cytoxan and lower dose of Pom) in April 2016. The prednisone was stopped in June 2017.2
Doug has been in a good remission for 20 months. We hope the addition of Cytoxan and prednisone will keep him in remission.
It has been 9 years on this Multiple Myeloma journey. It's been a bumpy road at times - once after the stem cell transplant in 2009, I thought the road had been washed out totally. This time it feels more like we see a sign "Slow Down - Road Work Ahead". Hopefully just a minor slowdown with no stops.
Love to all.
"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever." Ps 136:1
