Deb finished her last chemo pill in this sequence last night. She said 'Yay!!!' She has been house-bound most of the week. Deb has not had much energy for much more than sunning in the sunroom!
We are due in Little Rock Weds morning for tests. Because of the severe weather making it's way across the country, we plan on leaving very early Weds morning. Our first appointment is around noon.
Friday we meet with Dr VanRhee. We are eager to find out how the cancer is responding to the experimental drug-Carfilzomib in combination with thalidomide. We have been measuring the external size of one of the lesions. Our measurement has gone from over 5" long a few weeks ago to about an inch and a half today. We think the meds are working ! We hope the Dr. and his tests agrees!
Daughter Amanda had a business trip and sat next to a research Dr who was very encouraging about the Carfilzomib.
Last week we mentioned that we were attempting to purchase a small two bedroom condo about 2 miles from the hospital. We actually had turned on all the utilities and were scheduled to close Friday or Tuesday. Yesterday the mortgage company found out from the underwriters that a new rule will not allow a mortgage on condos if any one owner owns more than ten percent of the complex. Well, a lady in our complex of twelve units owns two. Therefore, by the mortgage rules, these condos cannot obtain a normal mortgage! Surprise!
We are checking other mortgage sources and with the owner-who is in Portugal, for possible alternatives. Standby for news!
