    Multiple Myeloma

    Over the last few weeks, I have come to know way more about this thing than I would have ever imagined.

    Last week Monday, my mom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. After getting the diagnosis in SA, Mom and I made the trip to MD Anderson on Sunday. After all the tests and scans, she started her chemo last night. They believe they caught it in its early stage and they are confident in our plan of attack.

    Dr Orlowski and his team of doctors and nurses are top notch. Given the circumstances, our visit to MDA was easy and somewhat enjoyable.

    If you get a chance, say an extra prayer for my mom and dad. My mom is the toughest person I know but it'll be a long journey to beat this thing.

                    Do you know what regimen they have her on?
                    Is it RVD (Revlimid Velcade Dexamethasone)?
                    Did they discuss stem cell transplantation at all?

                    Sorry to be so technical, I work in this space quite a bit.

                        Prayers sent. Y'all are in good hands with Dr O. My Dad went through treatment with him very recently and also had a stem cell transplant with Dr. O and Shah. He just had his yearly checkup and all his numbers are good and he doesn't have to go back for 12 months. God is good!
