Yesterday's Doctor Visit

Hello Everyone;

We went to the hema/onc yesterday for an office visit - the outcome of whidh I am not prepared for - in reality. The Dr. said that if Earl did not respond to the Vidaza/Revlimid meds after 8 sessions (he just completed his 5th) that my only option is Hospice- and we all know that that is not going to happen. I will continue to care for him myself - as I have been. He is at the hospital as I type this getting 2 more units of platelets, and is scheduled for 2 unis of PRBC's tomorrow. I amgiving him a nightly Neupogen injection, but have stopped the Procrit - as it certainly does not appear to be working.
Thank you all so much again for your understanding and prayers - they are certainly needed and appreciated. I hope each of you has a better New Year.
Beth
