Chemotherapy

I thought I had already written about this but I can't find it anywhere. The short story is that I won't be doing any more chemo. At last count I had done 11 different regimens although regimens like Revlimid aren't, strictly speaking, chemotherapy. None of the 11 is worked and we've run out of options. I didn't even respond to low-dose Melphalan, which is the drug used in the transplant procedure. So even if I could get to the point where I'm ready, there would be no point to trying another transplant.
The plan now is to keep me comfortable, continue the dialysis and treatment for fevers and such. I made a suggestion to Dr. Martin that we might try higher doses of some of the things that hadn't worked. Previously, I needed a lower dose because of my kidneys. Now I have dialysis which lessens that concern. I am now on Revlimid and it might knock the myeloma back some.
The painkillers are working well.
