The weekend hospitalist came by and had quite a bit of information to share since she had talked to doctor Van Rhee's APN and the APN had talked with doctor Van Rhee. My white count this morning was 0.20. That is less than half what it was yesterday. She said that she expects the white count not to bottom out for 2 more days and then start to increase. She also expects the myeloma markers to improve over the next week. I sure hope she's right. She said that Dr. Van Rhee has a plan at this point to give melphalan and then stem cells which amounts to a smaller than usual stem cell transplant. That is scary to me since it could result in a worse disease called MDS but we will see what the doctor thinks after this.
That is all I have to report today that I can think of right now. I hope you have a good Fourth of July holiday.
So glad your family made it down to visit with you!! What a great picture of you all together.
ReplyDeletePraying your counts will start coming up. Missing you both so much!! God be with you both!! Love from us
We sure enjoyed our trip to UAMS . They look like a place that knows what they are doing with patients with MM. I'm praying the day is today for those WBC to start climbing up. I won't make it so long to see you again. hugs to Reta Love You
