Update 1/11/2011

Hi Everyone,

I  just wanted to give a quick update regarding my dad's last doctor's appointment.  Last week, he got the results of a recent bone marrow test, skeletal scan and blood test.  His doctors say that his red and white blood cell counts and hemoglobin are all back up so things are definitely moving in the right direction.  Additionally, his skeletal scan did not show any damage to his bones.  All good news!  He should be in remission for an indefinite amount of time.

Multiple myeloma is an incurable disease so he will have to take a low dose medication daily for the foreseeable future.  Additionally, he will have appointments with his treatment team every few months to monitor his progress.

My dad is recovering very well and getting his energy back.  I am very pleased with the results of his tests!  Please feel free to give him a call or send an email.

Thanks,

Michelle
