Everything's good

I just went into the clinic today to get blood tests and everything is fine. I talked to Dr. Martin and we're going tomtry something new. We're going to try a combination of low-dose Melphalan, Dexamethasone, and Revlimid. Dr. Martin has changed his mind and now thinks that a bone marrow transplant is still a possibility. I've been taking Neurontin to try to reverse the numbness in my hands. It's not working. The MRI I did showed a plasmacytoma near my spine and he thinks that may be the cause of my hand problems. I am going to get in touch with radiation oncology to see if they can treat and shrink it.

I took this picture from the clinic waiting room. UCSF is perched on a hill so the views are great. This is looking east towards downtown San Francisco. I didn't try to take a panoramic picture but if you look north you see the ocean, Golden Gate Park (especially the DeYoung Museum) and the tops of the Golden Gate Bridge's towers.
