First visit to the Oncologist

Today we met with the Oncologist, and discussed all treatment options with her. We had a lot of questions around the treatment type, stem cell replacement and what this all means? The treatment of this type of cancer has advanced substantially over the last ten years.  Where ten years ago there was not much they could do for you, now there are new drugs and stem cell replacement, which is apparently very effective method of treatment.  We also understand multiple myeloma as being highly treatable. She explained a 4 month treatment regimen, and how stem cell replacement works. We hope and trust the Lord for a full recovery from this disease!
