My UCH Nurse Coordinator just called with the results of my echocardiogram done yesterday. The large blood clot in my heart has reduced in size by 2/3rds since it was discovered November 2 2011. The inside measurements of the right atrium of my heart are 4 x 4 cm. The clot was originally 1.3 x 2.7 cm - so in proportion to the size of my atrium - it was big.
In light of the continuing clot, albeit much smaller, they want me to stay locally here in Colorado for another month before I travel home to Idaho - bummer for me! But, I've been gone for so long now (since May 10 2011), what's another month???
They want me to start my maintenance Velcade/Dex chemotherapy at UCH next week and they are ordering my Revlimid 10 mg to be delivered here in Greeley, Colorado.
