I went to Dr Goldman's on Thursday and my BMB showed increased plasma cells (19%) I am going to start chemo ( Doxil and Velcade) in a few weeks. On Wed 7/22 I am going to have a mediport inserted in my chest for the IV infusions. I also had a CT scan which showed bone damage to my R hip which will be treated with radiation therapy starting Tuesday. I also have damage to my lumbar spine L3-4-5. I am having a MRI to see whether I am a candidate for kyophoplasties to that area. I am hoping that I am a candidate and that it helps alleviate the pain in my lower back when standing and bending. I am seeing an orthopedic surgeon on Monday 7/20 to see if he can do anything to help my hip or at least let me know if I have any limitation in my activity.
Looks like the next few weeks will be very busy with medical appointments.
