Update

I'm doing a lot better and my mouth is healing, although there's still some discomfort. That was SO not fun. I'm just surprised that it happened now, three months after chemo.

Jimmy caught a cold last week, and was getting worse, so he started on Levaquin Friday and we've kept the vaporizer running at night. He seems much improved today. I fret about his getting pneumonia again.

In August, his paraprotein level showed a slight movement, and Dr. Lonial put him back on a low dose of Revlimid, a chemotherapy drug. He's tolerating it well, although it has lowered his blood counts and made him more susceptible to infection. He loves the grandbabies more than anything, but small children ARE little germ factories, and we'd both like to get out more, but flu season IS starting. What does one do?
