Well I finished my first week with the new drug and I had no reaction. We received some good news from my doctor. The lesions in my liver have gotten smaller and the lesions in my lungs have stayed the same with no growth. That's the good news. The found another lesion in my spine in the lumbar region and will begin radiation this Tuesday. The radiologists says it will be nothing like the last radiation in size and area so the side effects wont be nearly as bad, also since I have not been on chemo I should do ok (Whew). In general I feel pretty good and all my vitals seem to be in good shape. Still trying to get my pulse down but can't get below 100.
I hope this note finds everyone well and enjoying the holiday weekend.
Looking forward till tomorrow
Love
Mark

Hi Mark,
There was a story on one of the morning shows the other day, either Today or GMA (I'm a frequent channel flipper) about Geraldine Ferraro. She got diagnosed with multiple myeloma about 7 years ago and at the time it was an absolute death sentence. Since her diagnosis they have come out with new medications, so now she is considered as having a chronic disease instead of a fatal disease. Big difference. She looks and feels great. Keep up your fighting spirit.
One last note for today, Happy 7th anniversary to Jeremy and Sarah.
Love to all,
Karen
