A Little Info

Moe has been over to visit with Dave and what we know at this point is that the radiation treatments are done. Dr. Anamur wants him to try Thalidamide, the drug that was given to pregnant women in the 70's that caused birth defects. Needless to say, they make you watch this video and sign a paper saying that you will not get pregnant. I had to watch it with my 75 year old mother. Hilarious. Anyway, time will tell if this therapy will knock the Myeloma down a bit. It does have its side effects, but not so bad as some of the other medications that the Docs were considering. All in all, Kathy and Dave are attacking each day with a positive attitude and a hopeful future. He looks fantastic, and aside from the pain, he feels pretty good. So.. let's keep plugging happy thoughts for him.
Thanks,
Marilyn
