The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Obviously not much is going on medically right now. I'm sorta playing the waiting game. Here's an update on the minutiae of my treatment.

I'm doing Velcade by infusion twice a week. I'm also doing 40 mg of Dexamethasone orally once a week. The Velcade is infused thru the catheter over a period of 3 seconds.... obviously not a long infusion. It's effect on me is minimal. It can reportedly cause nausea and some peripheral neuropathy, but none of that has happened yet. The Dex is 1/4 of my prior dose, so the side effects are greatly reduced.

I'm having shoulder pain pretty regularly and I'm retaining a lot of fluids. They're not major issues.
