Troy started his 3rd cycle of chemo on Tuesday and he had his appointment with Dr. Rado. We received great news. The Velcade (chemo) is doing what they hoped it would do. Troys' creatine level had dropped to 2.2. This means his kidneys are functioning much better and this will help his stem cell transplant be more successful. Troy will be leaving January 10th to go to Minnesota. His appointment is on the 12th. It looks like he will be there for a minimum of 7 weeks. George will go with him first and then I will go about two to three weeks later, depending on when the conditioning period begins. Happy holidays to everyone:)
