Good News! Stem Cell Transplant Planned and Capsule Chemo Working!

Good News Number One: The capsule-form chemotherapy is working! This week's LDH-level (a blood indicator showing active cancer) compared to last week is amazing! From 3400 down to 940 in one week! (700-750 is normal range). And I don't have ANY pain. According to Dr. Glenn, this is very exciting news and proof that the Revlimid (capsule form chemotherapy) is reducing the size of the tumor.

Good News Number Two: The doctors have decided to go forward with the stem cell transplant! It will be scheduled sometime between November 18 and mid-December. We are excited that Vicki's stem cells can now work to destroy the active cancer.
