Well, Troy is back in the hospital again because he didn't really eat or drink anything the past few days. The doctors say he looks good "on paper," but he wasn't feeling good and had no energy from the lack of nutrients.
The lung and blood infections seem to be clearing up, but they have detected a slight rise in some of the bad protein levels. Thus, the doctors are discussing a change in his chemo regiment - it is like the MM is "smart" and learns how to get around any chemo they throw at it.
They are still working on the stem cell donor and are proceeding with the necessary tests for that person, but we still don't have an exact date for the transplant. As you can imagine, Troy's disease needs to be under control and he needs to be strong before they can proceed.
Keep sending the positive messages and encouragement!
