Just got back from seeing Dr. Akhtar. I did my light chain blood test yesterday but the results are not back yet. This is so scary because if they don't start going down I don't know what Stanford will do next week. My biggest fear is another stem cell transplant and I just don't think I can do it. I'm not as well physically and mentally when I did it in 2009 and I'm really afraid. I should know something by Thursday and hopefully being on Cytoxan for three dosages so far it will really kick the numbers down. I'm really really tired everyday from the new chemo and the nausea is getting worst each month. Dr. Akhtar said its the fact that now I'm on 2 chemos and they are pretty powerful ones too along with Dex.
Mark and I have been going to the lake house every weekend. I love it so much! It is truly our home away from home. I usually just sit in the house because I feel awful but its a beautiful place to be. I get out and walk Mia and visit with friends but most of the time I relax, watch movies and nap. It feels so good to take naps and I try to do it alot.
Sunday is going to be so much fun. My niece Brittany is pregnant and due next month. My sister is giving her a baby shower here at my house. I am trying some new recipes and looking forward to seeing my family. It will be a beautiful day!
Today I touch two people's lives. Before leaving chemo I stopped to give encouragement to them about the chemo drug Velcade and taking it subQ. It felt so good to talk to them. I could tell they were happy to hear I have done so well taking the drug subQ. One man was so scared, I could see it in his face. I hope and pray what I said helps them through it.
Enjoy every moment because every moment is a gift!
Love,
Debbie
