Subject: Re: Wednesday Chat 04.04.12 by smooth on 2012/4/3 18:40:51 I saw that truck disaster on the local news. Slow news day in Phila. Lots of Trayvonne stuff still. I got what I wanted at the Docs yesterday. Numbers are stable, so he let me stop the Revlimid. But, not without trying to bargin..."want to try 10mgs every other day? NO. want to go down to 5mgs daily? NO. every other day? NO." He doesn't get it, huh? I don't want to take anything. Its a quality of life thing for me and its an improving his patient survival statistics thing for him. He's the best out there, but sometimes he can't differentiate between those two things, quality of life and stats. Finally got him down to a 6 week trial without anything to give me a chance to recouperate again from this,what I see as useless, round of chemistry. I know I'll feel much better in a week or so as the revlimid exits my system.Then it will be time to enjoy that beautiful blue piece of electrical/ mechanical wonder of a C5 I have. The thought sounds good to me. Thanks for the good thoughts yesterday and tolerating my bable on a daily basis. You folks make a great sounding board. Please pardon the drama. Thank you, Alan |
