We don't have a lot of news, but I've not posted about it and feel like I'm hiding something or keeping something from you. It's a weird kinda, dishonest feeling and I'm going to get rid of that feeling by posting this info. Maybe those feelings stem because of the way I spoke about SCCA, and this will possibly help restore some faith in the doctors there and their concern for us as an individual. ;)
The day after I posted the last medical post Terry received a call from Dr. Silva (from SCCA - she was one of the three we saw at our last visit, the not so confused doctor). She said that they have a treatment suggestion for him. I don't know all the facts but it would include taking the Revlimid (pill - which targets the MDS) and also getting the Rituxan chemo treatment again. If we understand correctly this is in hopes of preparing him for the trial he could not have right now and then on to a second transplant, because the second transplant is to be the cure. Of course each treatment has to work as they hope to make the next one possible.
We will be visiting with Dr. Smith about it, but haven't set up that appointment yet. This treatment can be done in Wenatchee instead of traveling to Seattle for it. We'll need to learn more and make our decision.
Well, just thought you should know :)
Have a great day!
