Bone Survey Results.....

Mom and I went to pick up my Bone Survey Results and then spend a little time shopping for a few things at Bealls. (I thought of you Patty :) I needed a few little things like a little rug at the doorway between my garage and laundry room, the kind that won't skid on you as it will go on top of tile, to cut down on the crap that gets tracked into the house on your shoes. My house is mainly tile, and I swear, I just don't know how the tile gets so dirty and full of leaves, etc since it's only me and the dogs living here. I'm gonna blame it on the dogs! LOL I read the Bone Survey results and what I can see, it's good news in that there are more no active lesions/tumors forming. Of course the results were compared to a prior Bone Scan and there were mentions here and there of worsening when compared to prior scans, with more degenerative changes noted and a worsening of the compression fracture in the lumbar area from the tumor that was created from my first bout of cancer, BUT to quote..."the rest of the bones show no evidence of abnormal lytic lesions (tumors) to suggest the metastasis of myeloma". So YAY.......at least I will not have to receive radiation and can go straight (do not pass go....hee hee) to just getting on with the chemotherapy, and see where this takes us. Still waiting to receive the call from my Chronic Disease Fund's Pharmacy to see when I can expect the chemo to get here and start making a schedule for taking it. It's 3 weeks on and 1 week off I remember, but due to chemo brain, I'll need a remedial course in the taking of the coumadin and dex as I can't remember if I still took those on my week off or not. Oh well, please keep the prayers coming and I'll keep you up to date when I know what's up and I will be writing lots more as there's tons of stuff swirling around in this brain of mine......
