Thank you, Stan. This rather new drug is extremely strong and can make the patient very ill. HOWEVER, my doctor was one of the head doctors on the development team, and has had the experience in the lab and in the fine tuning of the drug. Therefore he is comfortible and has real-life experience that other dr.s are just learning. It's a tight-wire act to give just enough to the patient to move forward while the patient still feels near normal, and the drug goes about killing the "bad" cells and leaves the okay cells alone. It is a 3 & 1/2 hour infusion 2 x @ month, and it leaves me worn out, for the rest of that day. Following day is fine!

Karen, my wife, brings me food and snacks, and I sit in a big soft leather recliner and read Motor Trend or something similiar.
IF he should give a little too much, later I get a tummy ache.

My wife keeps me going, and gives me the needed push to beat this crap.
How, (you say) does she do that ?
She tells me if I give up and
await the messenger of death...
she will SELL my cars to
used car dealers and they
will become junk in 2 years!

That is the secret !
We can't let happen !!
