Here we go again...

Hey all! It's Cassie. Long time no blog. My bad. But hey. HEY. Look what arrived in the mail today...


"I love my Fed Ex guy, because he's a drug dealer and doesn't even know it." -Mitch Hedberg

Phil begins Revlimid today, again. Just to refresh you all, Revlimid is one of the chemo drugs that he took after his transplants. It's an oral chemo that has minimal side effects (for chemo, anyway) and he gets to take it at home which means no trips to the infusion center. Yay for simplification!

I think the plan is to keep Phil on Rev indefinitely, and then at some point we will do another stem cell collection. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, and keep you all posted. In the mean time, life continues as usual, just with a little more pill-popping than usual. As the Revlimid starts doing its job we will keep our eyes peeled for any side effects so we don't have a repeat of the stomach lava situation of 2009. Oy vey.

Thank you, everyone, for your warm thoughts and prayers. We're disappointed that we have to think about myeloma again after such a brief interlude, but our spirits are good and we are going forward with hope that this will knock that m-spike back down to zero for a good long time. Ka-pow.


First dose, down the hatch.

No sweat, I used it for three years without any issues. It works!

I've been on Rev off and on (mostly on) since 2007, and no side effects. It's an easy drug to take and works very well. Best of luck to you both!!

My SIL has been on Rev in varying doses since Dx and his M-spike has been up and down and has been 'managing' life since 2005.

Holding you both in the light of healing energy!

Hey Phil... time for an update! How's 15mg going for you? After relapse for me, I started on 5mg then moved up to 10mg, and may be starting 15mg next month (or Velcade)? Hoping all is great with you and your beautiful family and "no blog news, means good news" for you!!! Thinking about you from CA, Julie :)

It's obvious some patient with HIV are been enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not a cure. I have been with the virus since 2009 until I was introduce by a blogger who also narrated Her story online on how she was cured of Genital Herpes after using Dr Native Cure . This is a year and 2 weeks since I was delivered from HIV. All thanks to God for using this Great and sincere herbalist to heal me. I have promise to keep telling good about him. Please fill free to share Your problems with him and don't forget to tell him I did refer you to Him. Thanks. Write him on whatsapp or mail on +2349071799626, drogunrootherds@outlook.com

My 74yr old Mom was diagnosed MM. Large tumors in both hips, small tumors throughout spine and back. Bonemarrow 45% cancer cells. Mom also has Diabetes, HBP and Interstitual Cystitus. She began treatment: 18 Rounds of Radiation on hips, Revlimed 25mg https://www.bonhoa.com/anti-cancer-capsules/50-lenalid-lenalidomide-25mg.html, 21days on/7 days off, Decadron 40mg 4dayson/4 days off. Potassium and Calcium daily; Once a month Zometa & Procrit. Her pain was extreme due to the size of the tumors.The only significant side effects were from Decadron: Glucose levels averaged between 200-515. Agitation/nervous,increased thirst and urination which lowered potassium level causing severe nauseau. We were Blessed w/the news of ZERO Cancer cells in Bonemarrow. REMISSION!!! Mom's Oncologist said,"He couldn't believe it had only been 4 mo's ago and that he had never seen anything like this". His words were,"it's a MIRACLE!
