Would love to coordinate one of our visits!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733312143898687572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398956932575790.post-52056954928269388222010-09-14T12:47:58.145-07:002010-09-14T12:47:58.145-07:00Nick: Glad to hear that you remain on the CR track...Nick: Glad to hear that you remain on the CR track and that your lesions are healing- slowly, but surely. Curious as to why they would stop Zometa? Hope you have a nice So Cal Fall.

I never had (thank God) any involvement in my skull so there isn't a whole lot of reason to do it every time. If I'd already had an IV installed I'd have considered it, but as I didn't, I passed.<br /><br />I don't know which MRI they do but they put me in THREE different machines so I probably had both. :)<br /><br />Re: Revlimid, it's not so much that Revlimid heals the bones but the absence of Myeloma allows the bones to heal on their own. Since the bones haven't healed particularly rapidly, he was (I suppose) a little nervous that the Myeloma needed to be hit harder. I am hopeful that we will see significant progress over the next four months.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733312143898687572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398956932575790.post-80927446810067249042010-09-12T13:47:28.734-07:002010-09-12T13:47:28.734-07:00Nick, good to hear you are still in CR.

Do you know if they use the 1.5 or the 3 Tesla MRI machine?<br /><br />How would more Revlimid help the bone healing?Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334002321240267987noreply@blogger.com
