Appointment with oncologist, Dr. James Moore August 1 2011

Saw Dr. Moore this afternoon. We discussed the constipation issue I'm having and he gave me several good suggestions that I will try daily until my pipes are movin' again. 

He showed us my July 27, 2011 Lumbar MRI results with area of bone marrow stimulation. My back pain has resolved for now.
 Dr. Moore said he plans on 5 Cycles of Velcade/Decadron/Aloxi and 4 Cycles of Revlimid prior to my stem cell transplant. I'm just finishing up Cycle 3 of Velcade this week and will finish Cycle 2 of Revlimid on August 9 2011. So, that's the plan.

Dr. Moore is going on vacation and I'm not going to lie, it makes me a tad anxious. He assures me that he has backup while he'll be away in the wilderness.
