It is official - I have RELAPSED - Day 184 Post 1st ASCT - March 15 2012


It is official, I have RELAPSED – my bone marrow has 50% plasma cells (cancer) --- better than the 80 % that I had at diagnosis…but, not good.

I will be admitted to hospital tomorrow for 4 days of  VDT-PACE (6 chemotherapy agents and steroids). 

Thalidomide po
Velcade IV
Thalidomide PO
Decadron IV

Cisplatin IV
Adriamycin IV
Cytoxan IV
Etoposide IV

Right now, I feel fine --- so, it hard to believe…but, it is what it is.

 But, my PET Scan completed on 14 March 2012 was CLEAN!

    Sorry you have relapsed. It is such a disappointment and frankly depressing. You've done really great with walking( I love your doggie!) you'll get through this and then back to walking and life.
