About 2 years after my stem cell transplant, the "numbers" were increasing past the point where Doc was worried about kidney damage. He wanted me to go on a chemo routine. There were a couple of drug choices that included IV's and Pills. We chose the pill type because that would allow us to go away for the summer. IV's would require us to stay in Surprise and go in for weekly treatment.

So, I started on Revlimid and Dexamethozone (spelling?). Twenty-one days "on" and 7 days "off". Many problems with muscle cramps until we got the dosage adjusted. Now, it's tolerable. I got the good word in early April. The numbers are down and the dosage can stay the same for the summer - it is OK for us to pack up the RV and get out of Dodge!

We plan to hit the road about 5/1. bye
